answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2023 answer text <p>Since January 2020 the FCA has been the Anti Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing supervisor of UK cryptoasset activity. By maintaining a robust gateway for firms seeking to register for cryptoasset activity in the UK, we continue to reduce and prevent the financing of criminal and terrorist groups.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The government’s ambition is for the UK to be home to the most open, well-regulated, and technologically advanced capital markets in the world. However, recognising that there are both risks and opportunities associated with cryptoassets, the UK has adopted a staged, proportionate and agile approach to regulation, which is sensitive to risks posed, including the risk of financial crime, and responsive to new developments in the market.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This year a new regulatory measure known as the ‘travel rule’ comes into effect, ensuring that virtual-asset transfers are accompanied by detailed personal information of both the originator and beneficiary. The new requirements will apply to crypto-asset exchange providers and custodian wallet providers and will help remove some of the anonymity associated with private wallet addresses.</p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 03/02/2023 08:27:01 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
