UK House of Lords passes amendment grouping crypto, stablecoins and tokenised assets
Britain\'s House of Lords passed an amendment requiring the government to draw up a comprehensive national digital asset strategy covering cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and tokenised securities. The amendment was approved 194 to 138 during the report stage of the Financial Services and Markets Bill, despite opposition from the Labour government. It would require the Treasury to publish the strategy within 12 months of enactment and seek public input. The bill still faces further votes and consideration by the House of Commons.
