In this episode we present an audio version of the full text of Bitcoin Policy UK’s response to HM Government’s consultation on the Cryptoasset Service Providers (Due Diligence and Reporting Requirements) Regulations 2025, drafted by Freddie New, Chief Policy Officer at Bitcoin Policy UK.
This in-depth commentary sets out our concerns with the implementation of the OECD’s Cryptoasset Reporting Framework (CARF), highlighting critical issues around:
- The overreach of reporting obligations onto software developers and self-custody tools
- Legal implications of classifying open-source code as regulated entities
- The real and growing risks to personal safety posed by mandatory wallet tracking and personal data collection
- The human rights dimension—why current proposals may breach Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights
