“Creating a regulatory environment in which firms can innovate, while maintaining the highest regulatory standards so that people can use new technologies reliably and safely is especially crucial as the UK seeks to maintain its leadership position as a global centre of excellence for fintech firms in the digital era and attract and retain investment post-BREXIT. Moreover, the industry participants recognize that the current post-Brexit era may create significant incentives for the UK to take a global leadership role in the development of a regulatory framework that will provide the digital assets industry with clear directives and regulatory requirements, allow for ongoing industry engagement in the evaluation of applications as well as the development of standards, and finally include a data-driven assessment process.” – Global DCA
