Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 24 February 2014, to the hon. Member for Vale of Glamorgan, Official Report, column 26W, on Bitcoin, what his policy is on the regulation of Bitcoin derivatives and other securities paired to digital currencies.
This question was answered on 5th November 2014
Bitcoin itself is not regulated. However, the UK’s regulatory perimeter in relation to derivatives is wide and would capture Bitcoin and digital currency derivatives that were futures, options or contracts for difference.
