Cryptocurrency’s promise is to make money and payments universally accessible – to anyone, no matter where they are in the world.
The Decentralized Finance movement takes that promise a step further. Imagine a global, open alternative to every financial service you use today — savings, loans, trading, insurance and more — accessible to anyone in the world with a smartphone and internet connection.
As an investor in the space, it has been remarkable to witness the growth and maturity of defi protocols over the last few years. This is a movement that is gaining steam in every corner of the world. With a global user base, and investment from top US investors, some of the global champions have chosen the UK to build their vision and their teams. As a leader in global fintech, the UK is well positioned to be a destination of choice for top crypto and DeFi startups to build the fintech champions of tomorrow, by providing clear regulatory framework and supportive innovation ecosystems.
