📍Neil Duncan-Jordan MP asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of existing taxation arrangements on the lending or staking of #crypto assets. 🏛️ The Exchequer Secretary Rt Hon Dan Tomlinson MP responded that the government has engaged in detail with industry on the tax treatment for the lending and staking of #cryptoassets, following the previous consultation on this issue. The government will be responding to the industry in due course. ------ 🇬🇧 The BBA is the Secretariat of the APPG on Blockchain Technologies, advancing evidence-based adoption of blockchain and cryptoasset technologies. #Crypto #Tax #policy

📍Government Confirms Crypto Assets Not Held in Consolidated Fund 🎤 Charlie Dewhirst MP asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 4 August 2025 to Question HL9820 on Cryptocurrencies, whether the Government’s crypto-asset holdings are deemed to be held in the Consolidated Fund under the Exchequer and Audit Departments Act 1866; and what the Government’s methodology is for valuing crypto-assets. 🎤 Government's Chief Secretary to the HM Treasury James Murray MP responded that the Consolidated Fund is a sterling denominated fund and therefore does not hold cryptocurrencies. Departments are responsible for applying relevant accounting standards on a case by case basis to value any assets held. ------ 🇬🇧 The BBA is the Secretariat of the APPG on Blockchain Technologies, advancing evidence-based adoption of blockchain and cryptoasset technologies. #Crypto #Tax #policy #Blockchain

📍Bank of England: "Multi-Moneyverse" - Stablecoins - Tokenised Deposits - Central Bank Money = All freely exchangeable 🎤In a recent speech, BoE Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden sets out her vision for a “multi-money” system where different forms of money including traditional and tokenised commercial bank deposits, stablecoins and central bank money are freely exchangeable – delivering the benefits of innovation to UK households and businesses, whilst safeguarding trust in money itself. Innovation in money and payments is happening at pace. ➡️ Checkout BBA's response to Stablecoin Consultation here: https://britishblockchainassociation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Stablecoins-FCA-BBA-Response.pdf ➡️ BBA's response to FCA's Crypto Consultation here: https://britishblockchainassociation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FCA-DP-Cryptoassets-2025-BBA-1-2.pdf ➡️ BBA's response to HM Treasury's Crypto consultation here: https://britishblockchainassociation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BBA-Response-to-HM-Treasury-DSI-Cryptoassets-FINAL.pdf ------ #BBA #UK #DLT #Crypto #Blockchain #Payments #Stablecoins #Tokenised #Money

Which Blockchain would you choose to attest a Smart City’s millions of devices? 📍 A striking fact: By end of 2025, the economic impact of IoT applications in Smart Cities is estimated to reach £9 trillion per year. 🏙️ Smart Cities run on Trust. So, what does a Smart City built on #Blockchain look like? Every device — from parking sensors to traffic lights — attests its integrity through a blockchain node. Consensus algorithms ensure tamper-proof data validation. Smart contracts detect and flag malfunctioning devices instantly. Authentication, authorization & accounting (AAA) systems secure citizens’ data. ➡️ This #JBBA research is from British Telecommunications (BT Group) and presented at the British Blockchain Association’s International Scientific Conference (#ISC). 📰 Infographic: BBA’s Centre for Evidence Based Blockchain (CEBB) #SmartCity #Blockchain #Web3 #DLT #IoT #EvidenceBasedBlockchain

Around 17 people die each day waiting for an Organ Transplant. Globally, one person is added to the Transplant waiting list every 9 minutes. 📍 NEW JBBA Research Alert: ➡️ "Ethical Compliance Framework for Blockchain-Enabled Tissue and Organ Transportation Systems" By Dr Elif Calik and Prof Malika Bendechache of University of Galway, IRELAND. This study introduces an Ethical Compliance Checklist – the first structured framework designed to guide blockchain platforms in ensuring autonomy, fairness, privacy, and trust in Tissue and Organ Transportation (T/OT) systems. KEY Findings: ✅ The #Blockchain can provide tamper-proof, transparent, and auditable records across every stage of the T/OT pathway – from donor consent to cold-chain monitoring and final transplant. ✅ The framework operationalises “Ethics by Design”, ensuring that data privacy, fairness, and #accountability are embedded from the outset. ✅ A real-world end-to-end scenario is presented, showing how #smart contracts, #IoT sensors, and zero-knowledge proofs can safeguard the entire process, while allowing regulators to #audit in real time. This work lays the foundation for more transparent, equitable, and #ethically robust healthcare systems – where technology directly serves human dignity and survival. 📖 Read the full paper here:

🏛️ US Government will put economic data on the Blockchain. Earlier this year, the United States published its National Blockchain Roadmap – the American Blockchain Act of 2025, outlining how Blockchain will underpin government and public services. 🌍 To date, only *15* countries worldwide have developed a National Blockchain Roadmap, signalling a new era of global competition for digital trust, transparency, and innovation. 🇺🇸This move by the U.S. Department of Commerce highlights Blockchain’s growing role as a foundation for open government, resilient economies, and citizen trust. #Blockchain #DigitalEconomy #Policy #USA #Innovation #EvidenceBasedBlockchain U.S. Department of Commerce #Blockchain #Economy #Data
