📍Yesterday, BBA submitted its formal response to the Financial Conduct Authority's Consultation Paper CP26/13: Cryptoasset Perimeter Guidance. While we welcome the FCA’s efforts to provide greater regulatory clarity, we disagree with several aspects of the proposed guidance, and have invited the FCA to revisit six key areas: ➡️ The “identifiable person” doctrine is too elastic ➡️ The qualifying stablecoin definition leaves perimeter gap ➡️ The safeguarding “control” test is broader than the harm justified ➡️ The categorical treatment of crypto lending as “dealing" ➡️ The complete disapplication of the overseas persons exclusion ➡️ The dual MLR/FSMA architecture is duplicative 🌐 We would like to thank our members, advisors, partners, and researchers at CEBB for drafting this comprehensive, evidence-based response. #Blockchain #FCA #Cryptoasset #UKRegulation #DigitalAssets #BBA

🇬🇧 The Bank of England and Financial Conduct Authority are jointly seeking input on the future of #Tokenisation for the UK's financial markets. In consultation with our advisors, members and partners, we will be submitting an evidence based response to the call for input. #Tokenisation #BBA

🎤 "Traditional rails have failed us. Remittances in the Global South range from 8-30% when they can be under 1% using the Blockchain. As we re-write the new constitution of global financial system, we must ensure we get it right this time - Build systems that are inclusive, democratic, efficient and serve everyone", said Prof. Dr @Prof Naseem Naqvi MBE MBE FBBA speaking at the FT Live @Financial Times :press: Digital Assets Summit. #FTLive #Blockchain #DigitalAssets

🎤 "Regulators need to co-build rails where they dont have to pick winners, but the winners are automatically discovered", said Prof. Dr @Prof Naseem Naqvi MBE MBE FBBA at the FT Live @Financial Times :press: Summit. #FTLive #Blockchain #DigitalAssets

🎤 "The Science of Tokenisation is solved but the Politics, Governance and Plumbing havent", said Prof. Dr @Prof Naseem Naqvi MBE MBE FBBA at the FT Live @Financial Times :press: Summit. #FTLive #Blockchain #DigitalAssets

"We spent years trying to solve the Blockchain trilemma, only to realise we are now dealing with a 'penta-lemma': Add Interoperability and Privacy to Decentralisation, Security and Scalability", said Prof. Dr @Prof Naseem Naqvi MBE at the FT Live @Financial Times :press: Summit. #FTLive #Blockchain #DigitalAssets

📍Blockchain and AI for the UK’s Life Sciences and Healthcare sector: 🇬🇧 Today the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Blockchain Technologies convened an #International Roundtable on Blockchain for Life Sciences, Chaired by APPG Member Rt Hon Viscount Camrose FBBA, organised by @The British Blockchain Association and convened by Head of APPG Secretariat Prof. Dr @Prof Naseem Naqvi MBE MBE FBBA. The discussion was anchored to seven of the highest-impact frontiers: ✅ Electronic Health Records on the Blockchain ✅ Genomics & #Biobanks on the Blockchain ✅ #Identity & Credentials ✅ #Drug Supply Chain on distributed ledgers ✅ Clinical Trials and Medical #Research on-chain ✅ Blockchain to tackle #AI Algorithmic Bias and training of LLMs ✅ Organ #Transplantation on chain ➡️➡️ KEY Stats: → 1.8 million undetected medication errors a year at #NHS care transitions — £17.8m and over 40 deaths. → 25,000 #doctor days a year lost to identity and pre-employment checks as junior doctors rotate between trusts → Fewer than 4.5% of FDA-cleared #AI medical devices disclose demographic #diversity in training data → $83 billion in #counterfeit drugs sold globally each year — up to 169,000 children killed by fake antibiotics → Over 85% of #biomedical research funds wasted globally — more than $100 billion a year → Three in four potential donor organs never #transplanted — gaps in consent, coordination, and chain-of-custody. 👏 Our sincere thanks to parliamentarians, clinicians, scientists, regulators, NGOs, Patient Advocacy Groups and industry leaders and startups who joined us; and to the BBA Secretariat for delivering an exceptional convening. #BBA #APPG #Healthcare #LifeSciences #Blockchain #AI #DigitalHealth #NHS
