FSR Brief EP6: The road to Crypto regulation

Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Podcasts Episode 6

After initial scepticism, Crypto is making its way into the UK regulatory perimeter. In the sixth episode of the FSR Brief, Jon Ford and Michael Tan are joined by Chris Ninan and Elizabeth Stephens to discuss the road to regulation, with a focus on the recently published statutory instrument from the UK Government, and the FCA's "DP25/1: Regulating cryptoasset activities".

We explore how the Government and the FCA propose to balance the promotion of growth of the Crypto industry with the need to protect consumers.

This episode supplements the podcast by our FSR advisory team on the Top 3 Takeaways from the new Crypto Rules, and the blog post about the draft rules.
