Is the UK about to miss its $40B crypto moment? Let’s fix that! 🚀🇬🇧 The UK could lead the global stablecoin market – but we need to move fast. A new report by Innovate Finance and Digital Pound Foundation says it loud and clear: stablecoins aren't just a "nice to have" – they're the key to future-proofing the UK's financial sector! If we get this right, we could see: ✅ Boosted competitiveness in finance and fintech ✅ A thriving GBP-backed stablecoin market ✅ London as the #1 hub for international digital assets ✅ Better, cheaper, faster payments (finally!) ✅ A springboard for AI, tokenisation, and future tech revolutions But if we don’t? Other countries like the US, EU, and Singapore are already racing ahead...and taking the jobs, innovation and growth with them. 5 key takeaways: 1. Stablecoins = faster, cheaper payments for everyone 2. Huge AI and tokenisation opportunities rely on stablecoins to work 3. Stablecoins could soak up UK government debt (yes, really!) 4. International openness is critical – no artificial barriers, please 5. We need a clear, bold regulatory regime – ASAP! Should the UK be the global home for stablecoins? What are your thoughts?

🚨 𝗔𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 🚨 Arizona has approved a ground-breaking plan to allocate up to 10% of its $31.5 billion public funds into Bitcoin and other digital assets. This move positions Arizona as the first U.S. state to consider such a significant investment in cryptocurrency. 🤯 Let that sink in: a U.S. state is now considering diversifying its treasury with Bitcoin. Not a private firm. Not a hedge fund. 𝘈 𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘺! 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟱 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: 1️⃣ Legislative Approval: Senate Bills 1025 and 1373 have passed, allowing the state to invest in digital assets.​ 2️⃣ Strategic Reserve Fund: Arizona plans to establish a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund to manage these investments with transparency and strict risk protocols. 3️⃣ Potential Investment Size: If fully utilized, approximately $3.14 billion could flow into digital assets, potentially acquiring around 31,000 BTC.​ 4️⃣ Awaiting Executive Sign-Off: The plan now awaits Governor Katie Hobbs' signature to become official.​ 5️⃣ Trendsetting Move: This initiative reflects a broader trend of U.S. states and institutions viewing Bitcoin as a legitimate reserve asset. What This Means: Arizona's move could legitimise Bitcoin further and encourage other states to explore similar strategies. If the governor signs off, Arizona's treasurer would be authorised to begin building the crypto reserve.​ Do you think this is a smart move for state funds? What are your thoughts?
