Technology trade association techUK has published a new report outlining a roadmap for how the UK can achieve global leadership in blockchain and digital assets by 2030.

As blockchain and digital assets become core infrastructure for modern finance, trade, and the creative economy, techUK’s ‘2030 Vision: A Roadmap for Building a Digital Assets Economy’ report provides policymakers with a roadmap for proactive regulation.

techUK says that to lead, the UK must move from reactive regulation to a clear, coordinated strategy that supports innovation, builds trust, and strengthens resilience.

By focusing on five key core opportunities – finance, tokenisation, payments, fraud prevention, and creative industries advancements – the UK can enable a thriving ecosystem that integrates digital assets seamlessly into society within the next five years, it says.

techUK’s report outlines the roadmap to unroll the UK’s leadership in a digital assets economy in three phases and related policy recommendations.
