The UK is now moving rapidly to position itself as a global centre for cryptoassets and stablecoins. At the heart of this strategy is the phased implementation of a regulatory regime which provides the necessary guardrails without stifling innovation. 

This conference brings together policymakers, industry experts, and practitioners for an in-depth analysis of the UK’s new regulatory regime for cryptoassets and stablecoins. The summit will provide a timely opportunity to learn about the practical implications for firms, investors, and the broader financial sector.

Key topics include:

• Updates from regulators and policy makers on legislative developments and regulatory priorities.
• Detailed sessions on the regulation of fiat-backed stablecoins, trading platforms, and new requirements for custody and safeguarding.
• Analysis of the phased rollout of the regulatory framework, including what to expect in subsequent phases.
• Comparative perspectives on how the UK’s approach aligns with or diverges from international frameworks, such as the EU’s MiCA regulation, the U.S. Genius Act, the U.S. Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and developments in other major markets.
• Practical guidance on compliance, authorisation processes, and adapting business models to meet new standards for consumer protection and market integrity.
• Discussion of the regime’s potential impact on innovation, competition, and the evolving relationship between established financial institutions and digital asset firms.
