Vicky Saporta, Executive Director of the Prudential Policy Directorate at the Bank of England, said in a speech at the bank yesterday that the rules will be developed in line with the Basel III rules and the Financial Services and Markets (FSM) bill currently being considered by the British parliament, and represents another step along the UK\u2019s path to becoming a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fullycrypto.com\/cryptocurrency-news\"><span>cryptocurrency<\/span><\/a><span> hub.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>UK Ups Crypto Hub Stakes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>The UK has been plotting a way to make itself Europe\u2019s premiere crypto and blockchain hub ever since then chancellor (now Prime Minister) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fullycrypto.com\/uk-crypto-push-undermined-by-fca-negativity\"><span>Rishi Sunak announced the move in April 2022<\/span><\/a><span>, right at a time when its financial watchdog was telling people not to touch it.
