📍Inclusion of Cryptoassets to ISAs:

🎤 Following a question from Labour MP Tristan Osborne, EST's ‪@LucyRigbyNorthamptonNorth‬ told MPs that while a draft consultation on legislation that enables the inclusion of cETNs in the IFISA is out now and will come int force in April 2026, there are currently no plans to include all cryptoassets in IFISAs, any future consideration would take account of market maturity, stability, and the suitability of providing targeted tax reliefs alongside the new regulatory regime.

🇬🇧 Government recognises the transformative potential of #Blockchain technologies to drive economic growth in the UK

🎤 Labour MP Tristan Osborne asks ‪@hmtreasuryuk‬ Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has made an assessment of the potential impact of introducing clearer regulatory and tax frameworks for cryptoasset investment on

a) high-skilled job creation and

b) assets under management.

🎤 In response, ‪@LucyRigbyNorthamptonNorth‬ MP responded that the government recognises the transformative potential for digital assets and #blockchain technologies to drive economic growth in the UK and increase efficiencies across financial markets.

That is why the government is bringing in legislation to establish a new financial services regulatory regime for cryptoassets.

🇬🇧📍JUST IN: New Crypto rules will come into force from 2027, giving firms legal clarity over the Crypto sector’s regulatory position and boosting consumer confidence by ensuring consumers are robustly protected.

📍Cryptoassets firms will be backed to innovate and grow under plans to make the UK a global destination for digital assets and attract more investment.


📍Chancellor backs cryptoassets firms to invest and grow in the UK with firm and proportionate regulation.

➡️ Legislation coming into force from 2027 marks major development in delivering on the government’s ambition to make the UK a global destination for digital assets
Consumers will be protected by bringing cryptoassets into scope of similar rules to those for other regulated financial products like stocks and shares.

🚨Migration of Bitcoin and Ethereum to Quantum Secure Blockchains:

📍Is the #Crypto world ready for Quantum D-Day?

Or are we sleepwalking into a Trillion dollar catastrophe?

🚀 NEW Ground-Breaking Research from BBA Fellow, Dr. Rob Campbell FBBA.


➡️ KEY HIGHLIGHTS:


⏩ Moving to post-quantum cryptography isn’t an upgrade – it’s a defensive downgrade:

Current PQC options mean accepting major costs now (around 50% capacity loss, higher latency and fees, heavier nodes) in return for protection against a future, uncertain quantum threat.

⏩ We’re benchmarking the wrong thing:

Almost all performance data comes from permissioned prototypes (e.g. enterprise/consortium chains), not global permissionless systems like Bitcoin and Ethereum – a critical methodological gap for trillion-dollar networks.

⏩ Quantum Threat Timeline is brutally tight:

Breaking secp256k1 requires 2,100–2,400 logical qubits (down from earlier estimates due to algorithmic improvements), with current systems at ~100 qubits, placing the threat 10-15 years away—but governance delays could match or exceed this window.


✅ The SOLUTION:


⏩ Crypto-agility is the only sensible path forward:

Instead of hard-wiring one “quantum-safe” scheme, research proposes a #HYBRID designs and crypto-agile protocols - so Bitcoin/Ethereum can swap algorithms if (or when) today’s PQC breaks – and AVOID a chaotic, crisis-driven upgrade later.
