📍🇸🇱 Government of Sierra Leone has put forward its National Blockchain Strategy The Government of Sierra Leone, through the Ministry of Communication, Technology and Innovation (MoCTI), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the SIGN Foundation to develop blockchain-powered national digital systems aimed at accelerating the country’s digital transformation. The next step is to develop a Strategic Implementation #Roadmap to guide the rollout of the initiatives, with key priorities including a #National Digital Identity Infrastructure, Digital Wallet Integration, Blockchain-enabled Payment Systems, and an Asset Tokenisation #Framework. The partnership is part of Sierra Leone’s broader strategy to position itself as a regional hub for emerging technologies, particularly in #blockchain and Artificial Intelligence, while enhancing transparency, financial #inclusion, and the delivery of #public services. The Ministry of Communication, Technology and Innovation will provide policy guidance and regulatory oversight to ensure that all initiatives align with the national digital agenda. Felei TechCity, the government’s innovation hub, will serve as the central point for project coordination and implementation. ➡️ Only 15 countries in the world have so far put forward their NBR, with Sierra Leone now set to become the 16th on this list:

🚨 Bank of England Unveils Consultation on GBP denominated Stablecoin Regulation 📍The Bank of England has launched its long-awaited consultation on a proposed regulatory regime for sterling-denominated systemic stablecoins. Governor Andrew Bailey said the framework aims to ensure “the public can have the same trust in new forms of money as they do in existing ones,” focusing on potential use in real-world payments rather than speculative crypto trading. Bailey added that a forward-looking approach was essential, warning that “retrofitting regulations once real-world applications have emerged at scale is unlikely to succeed.” The Bank plans to review feedback before finalising rules in 2026. ➡️ Earlier this year, BBA submitted its detailed response to the FCA's Stablecoin consultation:

🚨A Critical Challenge in the World of DeFi: How do we discover fair lending rates without intermediaries? 💥📣 NEW JBBA RESEARCH ALERT 📍 Decentralised finance lending faces unique challenges in determining fair interest rates without traditional intermediaries, often leading to inefficiencies from information asymmetry and liquidity risks. 🚀 This ground-breaking research from 🇫🇷 Université Paris Dauphine - PSL introduces a Novel Framework for rate discovery in decentralised finance (#DeFi) — a critical challenge in the emerging world of on-chain lending without intermediaries. ✍🏽 The authors Charlotte Eli and Professor Hervé Alexandre propose an auction-based mechanism that determines borrowing rates by integrating borrowers’ risk profiles with market liquidity conditions, removing the need for centralised oversight. ➡️ The Framework introduces: ✅ Fair and transparent interest rate formation in DeFi lending ✅ Alignment of incentives between borrowers and lenders ✅ Efficient, market-driven rate discovery using lending pools and smart contracts ✅ Informed participation and improved credit risk assessment ✅ Potential scalability of unsecured DeFi lending 🔍 Key finding: ➡️ By encouraging financial disclosure and transparent auction dynamics, DeFi lending platforms can achieve faster convergence to true market rates and greater stability — a vital step toward credible, decentralised credit markets. 🎤 Originally presented as an Abstract at the BBA's ISC2025, London:
