UK government intends to dominate crypto space by minting NFT

The UK government announced the minting of its non-fungible (NFT) token as part of its crypto industry dominance plan.

Finance Minister of UK government, Rishi Sunak has directed that the NFT be created and issued by the Royal Mint before the summer. The Royal Mint is a government-owned enterprise that mints coins for the United Kingdom. Sunak also mentioned that further information about the NFT minting will be accessible shortly.

The strategy involves consultation on a “world-leading system” for ensuring effective regulation of crypto trading such as Bitcoin. It also plans to include several stablecoins into the UK’s payment infrastructure. It will include permitting service providers and stablecoin issuers to “operate and develop” in the UK.

The Law Commission will be asked to investigate the legal validity of blockchain-based communities known as decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs). Another area in which the government is interested is the use of blockchain technology in the issuance of debt securities.
