Her stance comes at a critical time when traditional finance is wrestling with how to handle emerging digital assets and decentralized systems. If the UK wants to stay competitive globally, especially against jurisdictions racing ahead with crypto-friendly frameworks, this kind of regulatory rethinking isn't just welcome—it's overdue.
