Several British commercial associations have asked Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office to designate a special envoy dedicated to cryptography and for a dedicated action plan for digital assets and blockchain technology.
In a letter of March 31, the coalition of six commercial organizations of the United Kingdom’s digital economy urged the Special Advisor of Starmer on business and investments, Varun Chandra, for a “greater strategic approach and alignment to offer investments, growth and jobs” for the cryptographic industry.
The group, which was formed by the United Kingdom CryptoSet Business Council, Global Digital Finance, The Payments Association, Digital Coudy Governance Group, the Crypto Council for Innovation and Techuk, said the change of policy of the United States in cryptographic under President Donald Trump and its appointment of a cryptographic tsar.
Great Britain’s commitment to an economic commercial agreement focused on technological cooperation with the United States “presents a significant opportunity to reflect the ambition of the United States in promoting leadership in blockchain, digital assets and other emerging financial technologies,” said the letter.
The group recommended that the United Kingdom designate a special envoy of blockchain, similar to the US, to coordinate politics, promote innovation and position the country competitively in global markets.
Commercial agencies also requested the development of a dedicated government action plan for cryptographic technology and blockchain, including a janitoring service to attract high potential companies.
They added that the government must recognize and take advantage of the points in common between the block chain, quantum computing and artificial intelligence technologies, including potential applications for government services.
Another recommendation was to create a Government Regulator Participation Forum of the high -level industry to guarantee informed decision making and intersectoral collaboration.

“With deep talent groups, access to capital, world -class academic institutions and sophisticated regulators, the United Kingdom provides an environment where digital assets and blockchain innovation can prosper,” they said.

The coalition argues that cryptographic technology and blockchain could boost the United Kingdom economy in 57 billion British pounds ($ 73.6 billion) in the next decade, with the sector potentially increasing the global gross domestic product by 1.39 billion pounds ($ 1.8 trillion) by 2030.
Tom Griffiths, co -founder and managing partner of the firm of the Crypto Bitcompli compliance advisor, said in response to the LinkedIn letter that the financial behavior authority “has a lot of talent and a good vision of future plans, but the United Kingdom is definitely losing the rhythm of Dubai, Singapore and other EU jurisdictions.”
“Now is the time for the FCA to act, or the United Kingdom will lose this great opportunity, which are digital assets and all the benefits that this sector can bring, not only now but in the next 20 years,” he added.
