Britain 's Labour government committed to making the country an accommodating environment for businesses engaged in crypto and blockchain-related activities.

Investment Minister Poppy Gustafsson touted the "enormous potential" of the crypto sector at an event hosted by Stand with Crypto U.K. Steven Bartlett , a British entrepreneur and podcaster, questioned whether the country had the risk appetite to capitalize on the "generational opportunity".

KR1, a publicly-traded digital asset investment firm that specializes in blockchain technology, said outdated rules in the U.K. are making it difficult for crypto-focused investment businesses like his to become more widely known.

KR1 is currently listed on the Acquis Stock Exchange , a trading venue for high-growth firms.

Experts are hoping the FCA will encourage and foster innovation not stifle it.
