A new Cryptoassets Task Force was set up in the UK on March 22, 2018, by the Treasury, Bank of England, and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to explore the risks of cryptoassets, the benefits of this technology, and its influence.
The UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, stated in a policy paper titled Fintech Sector Strategy: Securing the Future of UK Fintech that the government intends to study the important issues by “understanding and engaging with the implications of new technologies.”

Hammond explains, “Like traditional assets, cryptoassets may act as a store of value, but they have recently been subject to speculation which has led to significant volatility, contributing to them being risky investments.”
