In a move anticipated to stimulate discussions around cryptocurrency regulation, Zebu Live has announced that Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, will serve as the headline speaker at its upcoming conference in 2025. Farage, known for his forthright debating style, is set to share his insights on how the UK can create an environment conducive to innovation while remaining competitive on a global scale.
Farage’s remarks come against the backdrop of a growing concern among entrepreneurs regarding the pace of regulatory changes in the UK. He voiced his strong belief that the “crypto revolution won’t wait for Westminster’s permission,” urging British entrepreneurs to act without hesitating as politicians engage in what he describes as “dithering over outdated regulations.” This sentiment resonates with many in the tech and financial sectors, who fear that sluggish legislative action could push talent and innovations overseas.
During the conference, Farage will engage in a fireside chat where he will outline strategies for making the UK a more appealing environment for digital pioneers. He expressed his intent to “cut through the nonsense” that he believes drives innovative minds away from the UK, arguing for the implementation of pro-innovation frameworks that could support the burgeoning crypto economy.
The announcement follows a recent surge in public advocacy for more progressive cryptocurrency regulations in the UK. A petition aimed at promoting pro-innovation policies has gathered over 10,000 signatures, underscoring the increasing demand for legislative frameworks that empower British entrepreneurs in the competitive global market.
Harry Horsfall, Co-Founder and CEO of Flight3, emphasized the significance of Farage’s participation, asserting that it highlights the urgent need for policies that reflect the realities of the expanding crypto landscape. He stated, “This isn’t about party politics; it’s about securing the UK’s economy for generations to come.” Horsfall also noted that Zebu Live has consistently focused on uniting the visionaries driving the future of finance, and this year’s conference will prominently address policy matters.
Zebu Live’s role as a leading platform for dialogue among entrepreneurs, policymakers, and investors is further solidified by this announcement. The keynote fireside chat featuring Farage is expected to be a pivotal moment in the event, which will be livestreamed globally, allowing audiences from around the world to engage with the conversation surrounding the future of cryptocurrency regulation in the UK.
As Zebu Live embarks on its fifth year, the conference continues to establish itself as the UK’s premier Web3 summit, bringing together innovators, industry leaders, and changemakers across the realms of crypto, fintech, and public policy. Through a series of immersive conferences, workshops, and community events, Zebu Live fosters an environment of knowledge-sharing and networking, aimed at advancing the ideas that are shaping the future of decentralized technology.
