An industry survey shows that UK banks currently intercept or delay about 40% of payments flowing to cryptocurrency trading platforms, and 80% of surveyed exchanges reported that customer payment disruptions have significantly intensified in the past year. The survey covers 10 large centralized exchanges operating in the UK, including Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Gemini, Bitpanda, etc. One of the exchanges reported that nearly £ 1 billion worth of transactions were rejected in the UK alone in the past year due to bank interceptions. The survey also shows that 70% of exchanges believe that the banking environment in the UK is becoming "more hostile" and that relevant restrictions are restraining their willingness to invest, expand, and recruit in the UK. （The Block） https://www.
