BoE Exec says We don’t have a regulatory framework that’s fit for crypto

The Executive Director at the Bank of England shared her take on the ongoing issues with the crypto Holdings by the financial institutions. 

In the present time, crypto adoption is surging among the retail as we know as financial institutions. There are many fund management firms and services which are holding crypto assets in huge amounts and they are not willing to give full transparency of their holdings. 

Sarah Breeden, Executive Director for Financial Stability Strategy and Risk at Bank Of England, appeared in an interview with the TheTimes. The whole interview was focused on the discussion of the difficulty that Central banks are facing in obtaining data on institutional crypto assets holdings.

Sarah said that this is not only an issue that can be solved by the UK officials alone. 

“This is not something the UK can solve all on its own”

Sarah hinted that there is a need for better coordination and cooperation of the different authorities and departments globally together. 

This statement of Sarah is not much surprising because this statement of the Executive is much collinear with the recent statement that has been passed by the Central Bank official, where they said that there is a need of better cooperation between the regulators internationally. 

In the last week’s report of BoE, on financial stability, it noted that highly restricted laws can ” manage risks, encourage sustainable innovation and maintain broader trust and integrity in the financial system”. 

In the present time, UK officials are working to bring a very precise level of framework and regulation to the crypto industry to restrict & regulate the crypto and crypto-related business more perfectly. By considering this aim of UK officials, Sarah noted that the UK is working to bring a better framework. She added:

“We don’t have a regulatory framework that’s fit for crypto-coins yet, but what we are doing is rolling our sleeves up and getting ready to build it,”
