The United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency is establishing a specialized digital assets team and is looking to hire six crypto investigators. These investigators will be responsible for conducting advanced tracing on blockchains and providing specialist advice and guidance to support new and existing investigations. The base salary for the role has been criticized by some members of the crypto community as being too low. The UK government has been making efforts to regulate the crypto industry, including bringing fiat-backed stablecoins under financial watchdog supervision and introducing a framework for other crypto-related activities. The authorities have also approved a bill allowing law enforcement agencies to confiscate cryptocurrency assets linked to criminal activities. The Financial Conduct Authority has implemented regulations requiring companies to warn investors about the potential risks of crypto investments. These developments reflect the UK’s ongoing efforts to bring the emerging crypto industry into compliance.
