Lisa Gordon, Chairman of the Board of British Investment Bank, Lisa Gordon proposed to abolish a stamp fee of 0.5% per promotion on the London Exchange, and introduce a similar tax for cryptototrazacities.

Lisa Gordon said that the rapid growth of the popularity of cryptocurrencies distracts the capital and citizens of the country from traditional investments in the shares of British companies, especially in the AIM market (an alternative investment site of the London Stock Exchange). The head of the bank noted that changes in investment preferences threaten the long -term stability of the UK economy, which is already faced with serious challenges against the backdrop of global competition.

“Cryptocurrencies are a global phenomenon, but their unregulated flow of funds weakens the local capital markets. The tax on the purchase of digital assets could redirect resources to the real sector of the UK economy, ”Gordon said.

In her speech, she cited the data that now in the UK, investors of the traditional market pay a fee of 0.5% with each acquired promotion, which brings about 3 billion British pounds to the country’s budget ($ 3.9 billion a year) of tax revenues.

Lisa Gordon said that Cavendish Investment plans to discuss the initiative with government representatives and regulators in the coming months, and expects that the debate around this idea will become one of the key topics of the UK Great Britain in 2025.

“We all should be horrified by the fact that more than half of people are younger than 45 years of age own cryptocurrency and do not own shares. It is necessary to reduce the coat of arms on the shares and apply a similar rate to crypto -investors ” – said Gordon in an interview with The Times.

Earlier, the general director of One Trading Joshua Barraclway criticized the financial regulation and supervision of Great Britain (FCA) for numerous restrictions introduced in relation to crypto industry participants.
