The UK is set to become a global crypto-assets hub as recently announced by the chancellor, Rishi Sunak.

The UK is keen to be at the forefront of using cutting edge technology that can attract investments and jobs and create more consumer choice and demand.

The Treasury also announced that it has asked the Royal Mint to create an NFT, also known as a non-fungible token, to showcase Britain as at the forefront of technology innovation.
