🇬🇧 UK Petition: Set Out a Pro-Innovation Strategy for Blockchain & Stablecoins
🔗 Official Petition:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/730568
🗓 Deadline: 3 March 2026
✍️ Created by: Harry Pearce Gould
📊 Current signatures: 43,416 / 100,000
📌 What Is This Petition About?
This petition calls on the UK Government to publish a clear, pro-innovation national strategy for blockchain technology and stablecoins.
The proposal focuses on three core goals:
Create a pro-innovation regulatory regime
- Support interest-bearing stablecoins
- Enable tokenisation of assets (equities, bonds, real-world assets)
- Preserve stablecoins as wholesale settlement assets
Explore government use-cases for blockchain
- Public sector payments
- Transparency & audit trails
- Infrastructure modernisation
Appoint a UK Blockchain & Crypto Czar
- Central leadership
- Clear coordination across regulators, Treasury, FCA, and industry
🌍 Why This Matters for the UK
For centuries, London has been a global centre of finance and trade.
The future of finance, however, is digital and tokenised.
We are rapidly moving toward a world where:
- Equities, bonds, and real-world assets exist as tokens
- Assets trade 24/7, globally, and instantly
- Settlement is automated, transparent, and borderless
🪙 Stablecoins Are the Backbone of This Future
Stablecoins are not just “crypto tokens” - they are:
- The settlement layer of a tokenised economy
- Essential for payments, DeFi, trading, and on-chain finance
- Already used by businesses for payroll, remittances, and commerce
The United States has ruled out retail CBDCs and is instead leaning into stablecoins.
The EU is moving fast with MiCA.
Asia and the Middle East are actively courting blockchain firms.
➡️ The UK is at a crossroads.
Without a clear strategy, we risk:
- Losing fintech and crypto firms to other jurisdictions
- Weakening the City of London’s competitiveness
- Undermining sterling’s future relevance in global digital finance
🏛 Government Response (29 September 2025)
“The government published its Wholesale Digital Markets Strategy in July and will bring forward legislation for a financial services regulatory regime for cryptoassets this year.”
While this is a positive signal, no specific, unified blockchain & stablecoin strategy currently exists, and industry uncertainty remains high.
🎯 What Happens at 100,000 Signatures?
At 100,000 signatures, the petition will be:
- Formally considered for debate in Parliament
- Put directly on the political agenda
- Able to influence legislation, guidance, and regulatory clarity
This does not automatically change the law, but it:
- Forces public discussion
- Increases accountability
- Signals strong public and industry demand
⚠️ What If This Petition Does Not Pass?
If the UK fails to act decisively, the impact could be serious:
❌ Regulatory Uncertainty
- Businesses avoid the UK due to unclear rules
- Projects pause or shut down operations
- Developers and founders move abroad
❌ Loss of Payment Infrastructure
- Stablecoin issuers may exit the UK market
- Fiat ↔ crypto on-ramps/off-ramps become restricted
- Exchanges and payment processors may limit UK users
❌ Wider Ecosystem Damage
This would not only affect “crypto traders” - it would impact:
- Blockchain networks
- Stablecoin-based economies
- Web3 platforms
- DeFi protocols
- Creator & digital economies
- Cross-border payments
Entire ecosystems that rely on stablecoins as neutral settlement assets could be indirectly harmed.
✅ Why Supporting This Petition Helps Everyone
✔ Keeps the UK competitive
✔ Protects innovation and jobs
✔ Supports fintech, creators, and developers
✔ Encourages safe, regulated growth
✔ Prevents the UK from falling behind globally
This is not about deregulation - it is about smart, innovation-friendly regulation.
