📍Inclusion of Cryptoassets to ISAs: 🎤 Following a question from Labour MP Tristan Osborne, EST's Lucy Rigby told MPs that while a draft consultation on legislation that enables the inclusion of cETNs in the IFISA is out now and will come int force in April 2026, there are currently no plans to include all cryptoassets in IFISAs, any future consideration would take account of market maturity, stability, and the suitability of providing targeted tax reliefs alongside the new regulatory regime. ----- ➡️ The BBA, established in 2017, is the world's leading industry body advancing evidence-based adoption of Blockchain and Digital Assets technologies.

🇬🇧 Government recognises the transformative potential of #Blockchain technologies to drive economic growth in the UK 🎤 Labour MP Tristan Osborne asks HM Treasury Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has made an assessment of the potential impact of introducing clearer regulatory and tax frameworks for cryptoasset investment on a) high-skilled job creation and b) assets under management. 🎤 In response, Lucy Rigby KC MP responded that the government recognises the transformative potential for digital assets and #blockchain technologies to drive economic growth in the UK and increase efficiencies across financial markets.
