On today’s episode, NLW explores the seeming about-face by the British government on crypto. He first explores the recent tension around a March 31 registration deadline imposed by the country’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) that has left many British crypto companies looking abroad. Then, he looks at news yesterday of a major push by the British Treasury to make the country into an innovation hub around crypto and digital assets – going so far as to say that they will mint an official NFT.
