Q: When is a landmark “Cryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill” not a landmark “Cryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill”?

A: When it's proudly announced at a Bitcoin conference in Vegas, and swiftly yanked off your website when optics get "tricky". ⬇️

New report out from the Bank of International Settlements: "cryptoassets have so far not reduced but rather amplified the financial risks in less developed economies."

bis.org/publ/bppdf/b...
Cryptoassets hold out the illusory appeal of being a simple and quick solution for financial challenges in EMEs. They have been promoted as low-cost payment solutions, as alternatives for accessing the financial system and as substitutes for national currencies in countries with high inflation or high exchange rate volatility. However, cryptoassets have so far not reduced but rather amplified the financial risks in less developed economies. Therefore, they should be assessed from a risk and regulatory perspective like all other assets. This will become even more pressing if cryptoassets are more widely adopted by retail investors and if links with the traditional financial system increase.

Justin Sun makes some good points, this whole system does seem to have some serious flaws...
relatively straightforward to identify wallet addresses with distinctive characteristics, such as unusually large balances or unique compositions of cryptoassets. 40. Thus, by disclosing the specific amounts of Plaintiff’s cryptocurrency holdings broken out by cryptocurrency, Bloomberg will provide everyone—including bad actors—with vital information necessary to identify crypto wallets that are owned by Plaintiff. Indeed, even if holdings are split among multiple wallets, bad actors can identify linked wallets through address clustering techniques, which analyze patterns such as common inputs, transaction flows, or behavioral signals, to find multiple addresses controlled by the same individual or entity. 41. As soon as the Plaintiff’s wallets are identified, associated wallets can also be found. 42. Given his significant crypto holdings, once Plaintiff’s wallet numbers are known, Plaintiff will become a considerable target for bad actors who can use the information to determine the methods to carry out an attack, which may include a variety of tools to steal, extort, and attack Plaintiff. 43. For example, attackers can use advanced, tailored, and targeted social engineering and phishing to obtain the seedphrase (which functions similar to a password) which would allow them to steal the funds from Plaintiffs’ wallets. These bad actors might also impersonate a cryptoexchange or wallet provider. It is well known in the industry that these bad actors can craft extremely convincing fake emails or direct messages (“spear phishing”) using on-chain behavior as bait. 44. Unlike traditional financial systems, crypto transactions are irreversible. If Plaintiff is coerced, hacked, or scammed out of their funds, there is little or no recourse. Moreover, crypto is transferable without third-party oversight, making it an ideal medium for ransom demands. As one Bloomberg article recognized:

ps. for those asking, these proposals were included in Reform's "Cryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill", published in May 2025.

This has since mysteriously disappeared from the Reform website but is still - as far as I can tell - official party policy.
