News Brief
British officials have confirmed that banks will be required to provide fair treatment to crypto service providers—a move they believe is crucial for establishing the UK as a leading digital asset hub. According to a Treasury spokesperson, crypto regulatory legislation has already been presented to Parliament, and the finalized rules are anticipated to arrive later this year, offering crypto businesses the stability they need to expand. The government maintains that all businesses deserve equitable treatment and argues that crypto firms holding Financial Conduct Authority authorization shouldn't face discrimination simply due to their sector. Therefore, licensed crypto operations should not encounter account closures or transaction limitations imposed by traditional banks. This announcement comes after multiple reports revealed that several UK banks continue preventing customers from accessing legally registered crypto platforms.

PANews reported on January 29th, citing CoinDesk, that British officials stated they expect banks to treat all businesses, including crypto service providers, fairly as part of the government's ambitious plan to establish the country as an international digital asset hub. A spokesperson for the UK Treasury stated that the government has submitted crypto asset regulatory legislation to Parliament, with final rules expected to be confirmed this year, "providing crypto businesses with the certainty they need to invest and grow in the UK."

A spokesperson for the UK Treasury stated, "We expect businesses to be treated fairly. Crypto businesses authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) should not be discriminated against simply because they belong to this industry. We do not want these licensed businesses to be subject to account or transaction restrictions by banking service providers." This comes after industry reports indicated that several UK banks continue to block customers from accessing legally registered crypto services.

Patriots Hall Of Famer Julian Edelman Is A Rising Media Star At FOX Sports

Patriots Hall Of Famer Julian Edelman Is A Rising Media Star At FOX Sports

The post Patriots Hall Of Famer Julian Edelman Is A Rising Media Star At FOX Sports appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Julian Edelman has a burgeoning media career, including as an analyst on FOX NFL Kickoff. Lily Hernandez The day before the Kansas City Chiefs hosted the Philadelphia Eagles, Julian Edelman was in a reflective mood. The last weekend he had spent in Arrowhead Stadium was when he helped the New England Patriots defeat the Chiefs in overtime to advance to the Patriots’ last Super Bowl. “I was definitely getting some flashbacks,” Edelman exclusively shared. “It’s definitely a special place to come. Not because we won (but) because we knew how hard it was to win here. This place rocks. Arrowhead is one of the most electric opponent stadiums that we played in. It was one of the greatest to be the villain.” Edelman had seven catches and 96 yards in that 37-31 overtime win against the Chiefs, paving the way for Super Bowl LIII, a game in which he won Super Bowl MVP. That may have been the apex of his playing career, which earned him induction into the Patriots’ Hall of Fame this weekend, but his post-NFL media career is ascending. He’s not only an analyst on FOX NFL Kickoff, the show that precedes FOX NFL Sunday, but also has his own production company and hosts two weekly podcasts. “It kind of (just) happened,” Edelman said. “My goal is really to just be around football in some form or fashion.” Julian Edelman of the New England Patriots celebrates after scoring in the fourth quarter against the Seattle Seahawks during Super Bowl XLIX.
