Cryptocurrencies
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle pump and dump cryptocurrency schemes.
Answered by Lucy Rigby
The Government intends to bring forward legislation this year to create a financial services regulatory regime for cryptoassets in the UK.
This regime will include the establishment of a market abuse framework for relevant qualifying cryptoassets that will prohibit insider dealing, the disclosure of insider information, and market manipulation.
