Frederik Gregaard, the CEO of Cardano Foundation, recently visited London and had the opportunity to meet with several policymakers and stakeholders who are deeply invested in the future of blockchain in the UK.

Gregaard described his experience as "exciting," highlighting the passion and dedication of those working to advance the technology. He expressed optimism for the future of blockchain in the UK, suggesting that there is much to look forward to in the coming months and years. Gregaard stated:

"As the home of common law and the City of London, the UK has an amazing brand – but to become a global blockchain hub, I believe British regulators and policymakers must be ambitious and prioritise ‘future-proofing’ features such as interoperability."

I had the pleasure of speaking to two cross-party committees, on #CBDCs and Digital Identity. It was great to exchange ideas on these crucial topics, at a time when the UK is actively looking at how to become a crypto hub.

I was delighted to meet @MarcusFysh, @DrLisaCameronMP, @stephenctimms and @IainMcNicol to talk about the future of regulation and the potential of blockchain and cryptoassets in the UK. All agreed on blockchain’s ability to effect positive change and reduce inequalities.

As the home of common law and the City of London, the UK has an amazing brand – but to become a global blockchain hub, I believe British regulators and policymakers must be ambitious and prioritise ‘future-proofing’ features such as interoperability.

All in all, a very productive trip to London, filled with engaging conversations and new connections. Without exception, everyone I spoke to was excited about the future for blockchain in the UK. I’m excited to see how @Cardano_CF can contribute
