The Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) has launched Bitcoin Policy Institute International, a new policy education initiative for U.K. policymakers, regulators, and government officials, supported by a charitable grant from Gibraltar-based Xapo Bank. The program arrives as the U.K. builds its digital asset regulatory framework under the Financial Services and Markets Act, expected to take effect in 2027, with an FCA application gateway opening later this year. BPI, known for its work on the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the GENIUS Act, and the CLARITY Act in the United States, will bring its research and expert analysis to U.K. lawmakers navigating this rapidly evolving landscape. Executive Director Grant McCarty emphasized the importance of helping one of the world's leading financial centers get digital asset policy right. Xapo Bank, a Bitcoin pioneer since 2013, brings over a decade of experience bridging traditional finance and digital assets to support the initiative.
