Odaily News The British think tank Policy Exchange recently released a comprehensive report on Web3, proposing a number of recommendations aimed at strengthening the UKs Web3 competitiveness. The report believes that against the backdrop of increasing regulatory uncertainty in the United States, some large companies such as a16z, Coinbase and Fidelity have already established operations in the UK. Revolut and Gamestop are shutting down their blockchain applications in the United States to avoid issues that could upset regulators. At the moment, the UK has an opportunity to take advantage of Web3 companies leaving the US. Furthermore, Policy Exchange estimates that the UK could capture around £29bn of this volume with sensible regulation – and this assumes that sensible regulation does not stimulate further growth in the industry, which it might in fact do. This equates to an additional £10.7 billion in assets and more than 36,000 jobs. These are industries with huge potential and are growing rapidly, bringing many innovative new companies, consumer goods, high-skilled jobs and tax revenue to the UK. The report states that the UK needs to re-evaluate the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)’s KYC requirements for cryptocurrencies and explore and develop “alternative and innovative technologies”, including on-chain identity and blockchain analysis tools, to achieve regulatory purposes. Another important recommendation is to clarify the limited legal liability of individuals in a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
