This paper was first presented at the BBA's Annual International Scientific Conference in London on 4 April 2025: https://lnkd.in/gyAAZP7G ✅ Key Takeaways: 1. Institutional Reforms Are Essential: Blockchain offers transparency and efficiency, but in markets like Nigeria, historical governance failures (e.g., fraud and regulatory delays) mean tech alone isn’t enough - robust frameworks are needed to prevent risks like disintermediation eroding trust. 2. Hybrid Adoption Model Recommended: A spectrum from radical decentralisation to conservative integration exists; emerging African markets should opt for hybrid approaches that retain centralised oversight for asset custody and enforcement, drawing lessons from pilots like South Africa’s Project Khokha. 3. Balancing Innovation with Stability: Without reforms in accountability and enforcement, blockchain could exacerbate inequalities; pairing it with agile regulation and independent adjudication can drive inclusive growth. ✅ 📖 Read the Full Article – Open Access in The JBBA here:

📍Lord Stewart Jackson of Peterborough asked His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the aggregate monetary value of crypto-currency (seized, and non-seized), and other crypto assets currently held by the Treasury. Lord Sir David Hanson of UK Home Office responded that the Government does not currently publish the amount of cryptocurrency restrained or recovered under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. The Home office is reviewing plans to publish new statistics on Crypto assets as part of future annual statistics bulletins on asset recovery in response to the new powers that came into effect in April 2024. ------------- The BBA is the Secretariat of the APPG on Blockchain Technologies.

"..We are looking holistically at how retail investors can access exposure to cryptoassets, including considering approaches in other jurisdictions...." "..Whilst we think it is now appropriate to lift the ban on retail access to certain cETNs, this is subject to safeguards like risk warnings provided through classification as RMMIs. This will make regulation across different crypto-linked products more consistent and widen consumer choice to include this product structure. 📍Financial Conduct Authority Lifting Retail Ban on Cryptoasset Products (CP25/16, Chapter 4): ➡️ 80 responses, broadly supportive (95% agree). ➡️ Allows retail access to UK RIE CETNs with safeguards (e.g., RMMI classification, risk summaries in COBS 4 Annex 1). ➡️ Respondents pushed for broader crypto access (e.g., derivatives, ETFs), but FCA maintains caution due to risks; will review as markets evolve. ➡️ Excludes FSCS to avoid poor incentives. Aligns with consumer protection, competition, and growth objectives; no CBA required as costs minimal.
