UK Crypto Regulation Lagging, Hinders Global Hub Goal Warns Agant CEO

The United Kingdom's ambitions to become a global cryptocurrency hub are being undermined by slow regulatory progress, according to the CEO of digital asset firm Agant. While the UK government has expressed strong support for the crypto sector, the pace of implementing clear rules is seen as a critical bottleneck. Industry leaders argue that this regulatory delay creates uncertainty for businesses and investors, potentially causing the UK to fall behind more proactive jurisdictions like the EU with its MiCA framework. For the UK to compete effectively for crypto investment and talent, experts emphasize the urgent need for accelerated and coherent regulatory clarity to foster innovation and market confidence.
