That legal clarity was a landmark step. However, regulatory frameworks still risk collapsing bitcoin into a broad “cryptoassets” category, applying uniform assumptions that fail to reflect structural differences between bitcoin-focused firms and token-based ventures. In a recent discussion with Cointelegraph, CEO Susie Violet Ward noted: “Prolonged rulemaking, overlapping regimes and compliance costs that are high relative to market size are discouraging firms from building in the UK.” The 2026 Manifesto outlines four priority reforms: • Remove restrictive rules
• Reverse the ban on retail access to spot Bitcoin ETFs
• Introduce capital gains tax exemptions for de minimis transactions
• Simplify tax and support investment in the UK Bitcoin ecosystem This is ultimately about economic modelling and competitiveness. Capital in this sector is globally portable. Regulatory clarity matters. 2026 will be a defining year for UK digital asset policy.
