Blockchain is a new architecture for trust, for transparency, and for value creation. Whether it is powering Stablecoins, enabling secure digital identities, or creating new pathways for cross-border trade, its impact is already visible. We need to devise policies that are adaptable to change, and yet robust enough to provide certainty for investors, innovators, and consumers. We call this approach “future-proof regulation" - building regulatory systems that can evolve alongside technological advances.

The UK has long been a global leader in financial services. Today, we have a unique opportunity to lead again – this time in building the digital infrastructure that will define the future of finance.
Around the world, governments are racing to modernise capital markets. From stablecoins and tokenised bonds to blockchain-based settlement and smart contracts – new technologies are reshaping the global financial order. But many of these efforts are happening in isolation. Instead of making things simpler, they are creating more complexity: more systems, more confusion, more risk.
It doesn’t have to be this way. The UK has a unique opportunity to show the world how digital finance can work better – for business and consumers alike. We can set an example by offering clear rules and practical technology that connects markets, not divides them, with the City of London as the engine driving this transformation.
Quoted from questions-statements.parliament.uk on
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has had discussions with the British Blockchain Association on the potential of blockchain technology to (a) reduce fraud, (b) enhance transparency, (c) improve costs and (d) provide efficiency in cross-border trade and commerce.

Matt Vickers MP is the Chair of the APPG on Blockchain Technologies.
I am pleased to announce the official launch of the APPG for Blockchain Technologies @APPGBlock alongside my cross-party parliamentary colleagues from both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
Blockchain, Cryptoassets, and Web3 technologies are revolutionising how we manage our finances, identity, data, and the digital economy.
Thanks to @Brit_blockchain for serving as the Secretariat of this important APPG.
Quoted from hansard.parliament.uk on
Cryptocurrency has fundamentally and permanently changed the way criminals and terrorist groups launder, move and spend their money. It is right for the Government to move quickly to ensure that our police and enforcement agencies have the authority and means to respond to those changes. The ability to do so successfully will play a vital role in our national security.
Quoted from questions-statements.parliament.uk on
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress he has made towards making the UK an attractive place for cryptocurrency companies to operate.
