What are our goals?

UK Crypto Hub

Realising the UK’s Ambition to Become a Competitive Global Crypto Hub

The UK is a leading destination for innovative businesses to launch and thrive, and is globally renowned for robust consumer protection. As such, it is well-positioned to lead in blockchain, and in crypto and digital assets, balancing innovation with strong consumer protection. Successive governments have backed emerging technologies, including those associated with blockchain and distributed ledger technology.

CryptoUK aims to ensure that the government's commitments become reality. We support strong public-private sector collaboration, working closely with regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders to shape proportionate regulation, inform legislation, and drive investment. By providing expertise and leading stakeholder education, we help create a thriving crypto sector. Our goal is to make the UK a global crypto hub, fostering innovation, economic growth, and long-term competitiveness.

Access to the UK’s Financial and Professional Services Ecosystem

Emerging and innovative technologies, including crypto and digital assets, are driving the UK’s growth as a global fintech hub. To unlock their full economic potential, businesses must have access to essential financial and professional services - such as audits, banking, insurance, and transactional support.

CryptoUK works with its members to monitor this access. We further call on the government and services providers to ensure that compliant, responsible firms are not denied these services simply for engaging with crypto and digital assets. Fair access fosters innovation, attracts investment, and strengthens the UK’s position as a leader in financial and technological advancement.

UK Financial Services

Informed and Appropriate Regulations to Combat Financial Crime and Illicit Activities

Proportionate, well-designed regulatory and enforcement frameworks will protect consumers and markets while also supporting innovation and global competitveness. The UK is in a period of regulatory framework development, and is positioned to collaborate with the private sector to meet the regulatory design challenges for all emerging technologies, including blockchain and digital ledger technology.

CryptoUK supports strong protections against financial crime while ensuring fair treatment for responsible or regulated businesses. Crypto and digital asset firms are no more vulnerable to illicit activities than traditional businesses and already employ advanced AML/KYC measures and cutting-edge compliance technologies. We call for the adoption of informed, proportionate regulations that leverage the potential of blockchain and other innovations to protect consumers, tackle crime, and foster further innovation without stifling growth.

Enabling Effective Regulation to Power Innovation and Growth for Decentralised Emerging Technologies

Decentralised finance (DeFi) is reshaping financial services, requiring a regulatory approach that reflects its unique structure. Traditional frameworks, built around centralised intermediaries, are often ill-suited for truly decentralised protocols.

CryptoUK believes that DeFi should not exist outside regulation but within frameworks designed for its distinct characteristics—flexible, responsive, and innovation friendly. As the UK develops its broader regulatory framework, we educate and advocate for proportionate regulation and enforcement that protects consumers while allowing emerging technologies to thrive, to ensure the UK becomes a global leader in crypto and digital assets.

Education

Driving awareness, understanding and adoption through education and advocacy

Emerging, innovative technologies such as blockchain and AI are poised to create new economic growth and opportunities. New technologies and approaches also require education and insight to best understand the strengths and challenges.

CryptoUK is the trusted voice of the UK’s crypto and digital assets sector, driving awareness and understanding across government, industry, and media. We shape a balanced narrative - highlighting the sector’s economic and social contributions while addressing risks and countering misinformation. Through education and advocacy, we foster informed policymaking, public trust, and broader adoption, ensuring the UK remains at the forefront of crypto and digital asset innovation.
