When UK stablecoin ambition was being capped, our community stepped up.
Cities. Campuses. Parliament.
From 0 to 84,000+ signatures supporting UK leadership in stablecoin innovation.
Together we pushed the issue onto the national agenda, triggered a parliamentary inquiry, and helped shape the regulatory conversation.
Thank you to everyone who stood with crypto and made their voice heard. 🛡️
@EE@bt I have been without broadband since 13 Feb. I have called multiple times to try and get this fixed. I waited in all afternoon today but the scheduled engineer did not arrive. I now need to wait in for another afternoon to get this fixed. And yet my bill has increased.
Engineer did not arrive. Call centre phoned to rebook. Could not hear what was going on due to excessive background noise. I think I have another appointment but cannot be sure.
First call - test done, new hub required, ordered and delivered (5 days after it was promised). Still didn’t work. Second call - had to go through all tests again, was told id be contacted about an engineer visit. No contact. Third call - tests done (again) and engineer booked.
Stablecoins are in danger. Decisions being made now could affect how millions in the UK save, spend and transfer money. Smart, balanced regulation matters.
Make your voice heard and sign the official UK Parliament petition.
Singing > watching.
So we got millions of people watching the Big Game to sing along with us.
Oh, and we put it on the world's largest LED screen @SphereVegas.
@SgtMajFrench My second term was January, and I recall that there was an exercise almost immediately after the Christmas break. My toes have never been the same 🥶 .
Stand with Crypto has launched a petition to the Government to deliver a pro-innovation strategy for blockchain technology and UK stablecoin leadership.
This is about the future of money, the future of finance, and sterling's standing in the world. The UK is at a crossroads.
Now is the time to make your voice heard on the future of the pound.
Our first UK brand campaign, Everything is Fine, launched this week, and it certainly got people talking. Ultimately we had one goal: start a discussion about the state of the current global financial system.
The satirical scenes shown are not based on new issues, but related to long-standing challenges. The financial system around the globe can be better and drive economic freedom for all – but it desperately needs an update to do so.
We’re excited to help the UK and other countries lean into this opportunity. The UK is our largest international market, and we are proud to be building in the UK, given the strength of its capital markets, world leading universities and globally respected regulators. The Government has set out a bold ambition to deliver growth and make the UK the best place to start and grow a crypto business.
Coinbase wants to encourage more Brits to learn about crypto because we believe it will foster a more accessible and efficient financial system, and in turn support greater economic participation.
