Why crypto went crazy and the FCA winced
This week we speak to the head of the UK's self-regulatory body for crytoassets, Ian Taylor of CryptoUK. He takes us through distributed ledger technology (DTL) - the innovative tech powering the digital currency; he answers why the London ecosystem as a global fintech capital is great for crypto based companies but that challenges in regulation remain; and he offers some thoughts on the arrival of institutional investors as a potential reason behind recent price volatility, and whether the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) was too harsh in its statement on cryptoassets.
