Episode 32 - Building a Grassroots Movement: Insights on Stand With Crypto in the UK
Oct 31, 09:00 AM
In this episode of The Gage, our CEO had the pleasure of speaking with Katie Harries, the Director for International Policy at Coinbase. We discussed the impactful "Stand With Crypto" movement, which began in the U.S. and has now expanded to the U.K, with plans for further international growth. Katie highlighted the importance of this initiative in mobilising crypto advocates and turning them into informed voters, especially in light of the upcoming elections.
Katie emphasised the unique approach that the U.K. will take with "Stand With Crypto," focusing on promoting a positive business and policy environment for digital assets. She outlined the movement's goals, including showcasing the economic benefits of blockchain technology and fostering grassroots support across various communities.
We explored several innovative use cases of blockchain technology beyond financial services, such as its applications in telecommunications and supply chain tracking. Katie also shared insights into the government's role in creating a comprehensive regulatory framework and the need for a cross-government strategy to fully harness the potential of blockchain.
Katie expressed her excitement about the opportunities for the U.K. to lead in the digital revolution and invited listeners to engage with the movement by signing up and sharing their own innovative use cases. It was an enlightening conversation, and we at Greengage are eager to see how the "Stand With Crypto" initiative evolves in the coming months.
