Overview

A UK Cryptoasset Business Council (UKCBC) survey/report is being amplified across crypto media, alleging widespread bank-imposed blocks, delays, and limits on customer transfers to crypto exchanges. Coverage frames the issue both as day-to-day payments friction for exchange users and, in some reporting, as a worsening “debanking” dynamic that the lobby group says needs clearer regulatory guidance.
