Sunak opined: \u201cIt\u2019s my ambition to make the U.K. a global hub for cryptoasset technology, and the measures we\u2019ve outlined today will help to ensure firms can invest, innovate, and scale up in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think about the FCA extending the registration deadline for five crypto firms?
