UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has proposed a legislative initiative to establish a Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS) in order to support the growth of the digital asset sector. The DSS will serve as a controlled testing environment for crypto technologies and services, allowing for the adoption of digital assets in financial markets. The government plans to officially implement the DSS through a statutory instrument, with the initiative set to begin in the first quarter of 2024. The DSS has received positive feedback from industry experts, who believe it will enable firms to experiment with digital asset technology and establish critical financial market infrastructure. The introduction of the DSS reflects the UK government’s proactive approach to integrating digital assets into the financial landscape, promoting innovation while ensuring regulatory oversight.
