Access to banking remains one of the clearest practical barriers facing UK crypto and digital asset firms.
The Crypto & Digital Assets APPG @cryptoappg is taking evidence on account closures, restricted services, delays and other banking issues.
Two weeks left to submit:

A very welcome addition to the panel. Looking forward to bringing these different perspectives together next Thursday.
Following yesterday's announcement, we’re pleased to welcome Yasmin Kaur Johal, Senior Associate at @CMS_law, to next week’s webinar on Admissions & Disclosures (A&D) and the market abuse regime (MARC).
Yasmin adds a further legal perspective to a panel examining what changed between consultation and the FCA’s final rules, which firms are affected, and what they can prioritise now as part of their wider authorisation readiness.
The updated line-up is:
🔹 Giles Swan — Public Policy and Regulatory Consultant and NED
🔹 Azmina Keshani — General Counsel, @ZodiaCustody
🔹 Chrislyn Pereira — Chief of Staff, @eunice_ai1
🔹 Yasmin Kaur Johal — Senior Associate, @CMS_law
🔹 Nick Brooks — Policy Director, @CryptoUKAssoc (Moderator)

Charities do not need to become digital asset experts before they can begin exploring crypto donations.
Aidan Alberico explains how experienced infrastructure partners such as @LMAX can help charities navigate both the technological and governance considerations involved.
That means working with fundraising, finance, treasury and compliance teams to understand how donations will be received, screened, converted and recorded—and ensuring the approach reflects the charity’s own risk appetite.
The right partner can help make crypto fundraising more accessible without requiring charities to build every capability internally.

The FCA has now set the rules for admitting cryptoassets to UK trading platforms and tackling market abuse. I will be moderating a CryptoUK discussion on 30 July about what the rules mean in practice and how firms can prepare for authorisation.

In my work at @CryptoUKAssoc, banking access is repeatedly raised as a practical constraint on legitimate firms. The APPG is seeking evidence on its scale, causes and possible solutions. Written submissions close 31 August 2026.

I can't help but feel like this @michael_saylor is just the start of what is to come. Every major company is sitting on a block of melting fiat ice. Thanks @APompliano for the great content. #phase5 #Bitcoin
My conversation with @michael_saylor is now on YouTube.
We discuss how he built MicroStrategy, what his $500 million dilemma earlier this year was, and why he chose to put more than $400 million into Bitcoin with the company's balance sheet.
Enjoy :)

NO LOCKDOWN; just masks, hygiene + social distancing.
Schools reopening before May-end.
Every now and then you find an interview that needs to be listened to again and again. @ErikSTownsend's interview with Dr Lacy Hunt on @MacroVoices is one such example. Profound insights from a great man that I had to reduce and summarise to deepen my own understanding. A thread:
True MMT (debt monetisation) is the only path to hyperinflation. In this world, inflation ↑, productivity ↓, people convert financial assets to commodities and we return to a form of barter system with double coincidence of wants 💀 No form of mild deflation is worse than this.
