🇬🇧 Delighted to represent the UK’s blockchain and digital asset industry at this evening’s House of Commons reception, which brought together trade bodies and industry associations from across the UK. Inspiring remarks from Sir Chris Bryant MP, Minister of State at the Department for Business and Trade, who spoke with real appreciation about the vital work trade associations do to grow the UK economy — as convenors, standards-setters, and a trusted bridge between policymakers and industry. It was also great to speak with Edward Morello MP and other Parliamentarians about the work of The British Blockchain Association to advance evidence-led policy, strengthen trust and integrity in the digital economy, and help responsible innovation scale in the #UK. On behalf of the #BBA, I was proud to showcase the work of our members across a truly multidisciplinary global ecosystem - spanning #bitcoin, #crypto and digital asset banking, blockchain start-ups, law firms, universities, NGOs, regtech, tokenisation and real estate, and healthcare innovation, among many others.

I was in Dubai recently where I met some government officials, C-suite execs, and several Web3 start-ups. It’s not by luck or by chance that some jurisdictions are excelling in blockchain. From evidence to impact, they are following 5 essential steps to build a world-class digital economy: #Blockchain #bitcoin #Web3 #Dubai #UK @The British Blockchain Association

🌐 Stablecoins will be a game-changer for the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth represents around one-third of the world’s population – roughly 2.7 billion people. 🌏 From remittances and trade to cross-border payments and SME financing, the potential for stablecoin-driven transformation is enormous. 🚨 60% of Commonwealth citizens are under 30: A mobile-native, digital-first generation, that will not wait for legacy systems to catch up. In my recent contribution to the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC) Stablecoin Roundtable, I shared why: ✅ Stablecoins can dramatically reduce remittance costs across "Commonwealth corridors" ✅ Programmable money can improve transparency and compliance for governments and institutions ✅ Thoughtful, evidence-based regulation is essential to balance innovation and stability ✅ The Commonwealth can become a global testbed for scalable, inclusive digital finance 🎥 Watch the video for my key takeaways and proposals for a smarter, evidence-based stablecoin strategy across the Commonwealth. @The British Blockchain Association #Stablecoins #Commonwealth #Blockchain #DigitalAssets
