UK Rejects National Cryptocurrency Reserve, Charting Independent Regulatory Path
The UK Treasury has explicitly diverged from the US approach to cryptocurrency reserves, declaring that a national crypto reserve is incompatible with its market dynamics. Deputy Treasury Secretary Emma Reynolds emphasized this stance at the Digital Assets Summit in London, framing it as a deliberate regulatory choice rather than an oversight.
Global cryptocurrency strategies remain fragmented, with the UK prioritizing tailored oversight over blanket adoption of foreign models. The decision underscores a broader trend of jurisdictional differentiation in digital asset policy—where macroeconomic priorities and local market structures dictate regulatory tempo.
