British legislature founds crypto and digital assets group

Members of the British Parliament and members of the House of Lord have formed the Crypto and Digital Assets Group, reported the Financial Times on Friday.

The MP of the Scottish National Party (SNP), Lisa Cameron, the chairwoman of the cross -party group of legislators, said that the group would work to ensure that new rules for the crypto industry "support innovation". They detailed:

We are in a crucial time for the sector, since global political decision -makers are now also checking their approach to crypto and how this should be regulated.

The new crypto group officially registered with parliament last week. His members include the former Minister of Digital Business, Ed Vaizey, and Tory MP Harriett Baldwin, a former manager of JPMorgan.

As a secretariat of the faction, Cryptouk, a trade association for digital assets, will act. The association has been committed to the legislator for positive crypto regulation in Great Britain

crypto supporters have warned that the British government was too slow to determine rules for companies with digital assets that could drive abroad. The British financial supervision Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) banned crypto derivatives for private investors and rejected crypto funds.

Supervisory authorities have repeatedly warned of the risks of crypto fraud and non-regulated companies. According to the blockchain data analysis company Chainalysis, frauds with cryptocurrencies cost investors $ 7.8 billion this year.
