Blockchain Regulation In UK:

The rise of cryptocurrencies has paved the way for blockchain technology and is moving swiftly worldwide. In Uk, there is no such official legislation to the use of blockchain technology from the Uk regulatory body, the Financial Conduct Authority(FCA).

One Step Forward, the FCA has declared that 29 companies were accepted into the 4th regulatory sandbox in July 2019 and 11 of these firms are blockchain startups. This Regulatory Sandbox allows companies to set their projects in the UK regulatory environment.

Recent two reports were published by two independent think tanks, have indicated that the UK government is taking the use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) into consideration to deliver more and better quality public services.

The First Report, "The Future of Public Service Identity," which was published by London-based think tank Reform.

Nowadays the government’s identity management is inefficient and inconvenient. So this report demonstrates how the blockchain could be used for identity management. As the blockchain is decentralized, all data will be visible to both the citizens and government departments, hence there is no need for the citizens to provide their details very often to access public services.

The Second Report,” Distributed Ledger Technologies for Public good” which was released by the House of Lords, the upper chamber of the UK parliament. 

This report conveying the opportunity of blockchain technology across government service sectors includes customs and immigration, national security and public safety, healthcare, cybersecurity and more by having possible applications. This will encourage the trust relationship between the government and the public via a decentralized mechanism.
