BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
The UK says it wants to be a global crypto hub. But banks are still closing accounts for anyone who touches Bitcoin, stablecoin holding caps are being proposed, and a Bitcoin ETN U-turn is threatening to force retail investors to lock in losses.

Keith Grose, CEO of Coinbase UK, joins Jordan Walker to give his honest take on where the UK stands, what's going wrong, and what needs to change.
