1/9 The launch of the Crypto & Digital Assets All Party Parliamentary Group’s report on making the #UK a #crypto hub highlights the potential for the country to lead in crypto innovation, provided the right regulatory framework is in place.
2/9 But urgent regulation in the industry is still needed. The report showcases a prime example of successful public-private collaboration, acknowledging the opportunities presented by the #cryptocurrency & digital assets industry.
3/9 These include financial service efficiencies, economic growth, research opportunities, and improved financial inclusion. The #UK must strategically plan across governmental departments to realise these benefits.
Eine redliche #Aufarbeitung der Pandemie und im Besonderen von #2G ist zwingend notwendig. Ich versuche mit dieser Thread-Serie einen Beitrag dazu zu leisten.

1/14 These critical threads highlight key points on the latest FCA 'Research Note: Cryptoassets consumer research 2023'; revealing a significant increase in #cryptoasset ownership in the #UK, with 9% of adults (4.97m) owning cryptoassets in 2022; highlighting the growing adoption
2/14 The research highlights that 15% of #cryptoasset users have purchased #stablecoins. This indicates that stablecoins, which are designed to minimise price volatility, have gained traction as a popular choice among #crypto investors. #CryptoassetsOwnership
3/14 A noteworthy is that 28% of non-cryptoasset users stated they would be more likely to buy #cryptoassets if the market & activities were regulated. This underscores the potential impact of regulation on consumer behaviour & the importance of creating a regulated environment.

3/10: Firms planning to market to UK consumers must carefully consider the four available routes for lawfully communicating promotions and ensure compliance with the relevant requirements. Seeking professional advice is crucial during this preparation phase. #ComplianceMatters
