[UK Treasury Spokesperson: Banks Should Stop Blocking Crypto Companies] According to CoinDesk, UK officials have stated that as part of the government's ambitious plan to establish the country as an international digital asset hub, they expect banks to treat all businesses fairly, including crypto service providers. A spokesperson for the UK Treasury said the government has submitted crypto asset regulatory legislation to Parliament, with final rules expected to be confirmed this year, 'providing the certainty needed for crypto businesses to invest and grow in the UK.' The UK Treasury spokesperson stated: 'We expect businesses to be treated fairly. Crypto firms authorized by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) should not be discriminated against solely because of the industry they belong to. We do not want these licensed firms to face account or transaction restrictions from banking service providers.' Previously, industry reports indicated that several UK banks continue to block customers from accessing legally registered crypto services.
