Nigel Farage emphasizes the need for sweeping deregulation in the UK, inspired by Margaret Thatcher's successful reforms, to boost London's status as a global financial hub and capitalize on digital assets like Bitcoin.

He advocates for the Bank of England to hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset and proposes establishing a UK Bitcoin reserve using seized criminal assets, aiming to modernize the country's financial infrastructure.

Farage criticizes current UK crypto regulations as overly restrictive, warning they could drive talent and business abroad, and calls for deregulation to unlock opportunities in digital asset trading.

Reform UK’s economic plans focus on adjusting the tax burden to prevent capital and talent flight, addressing the country's sluggish growth and poor public finances.

Industry experts warn that restrictive UK crypto regulations risk pushing businesses and talent to more favorable jurisdictions, with the FCA preparing to align crypto rules with traditional finance by early 2026.

Recent UK crypto regulation developments include a US-UK collaborative effort to harmonize rules and the Bank of England's push for strict oversight of stablecoins, including plans for stablecoins to access bank accounts at the BoE.

The UK is actively working to position itself as a crypto-friendly hub, with proposals to regulate digital assets more effectively and a joint effort to harmonize international crypto rules.

Reform UK has dropped most of its proposed £90 million tax cuts, shifting focus to economic reform and cost savings amid concerns over government mismanagement.

Farage criticizes the UK banking system as outdated, citing account closures due to anti-money laundering rules, and advocates for disruption in financial services to benefit consumers and industry.

He highlights personal experiences of bank account closures, including his own, and calls for reforms to protect lawful crypto activities from banking restrictions.

Farage stresses the importance of implementing a more competitive fiscal policy to counteract capital flight and brain drain amid the UK’s current political and economic turmoil.

Farage opposes the Bank of England’s plans for a central bank digital currency (CBDC), labeling it 'the ultimate authoritarian nightmare,' and vows to oppose it if his party wins.
