Recommendation
While we acknowledge the need to ensure that the gateway for registration of cryptoasset firms for anti-money laundering should be a rigorous process, registration has been too slow. It needs to be speeded up, and the Government should work with the FCA to find a solution. The FCA should not extend the deadline for registration again beyond March 2022. If the FCA sees no alternative, it should write to the Committee to explain its position.
Government Response Summary
The response discusses the Economic Crime Levy and government spending on economic crime, which is unrelated to the recommendation about cryptoasset firm registration delays at the FCA.

Not Addressed
We welcome the Government’s undertaking to be accountable for spending the money raised by the Economic Crime Levy in the way in which it is intended. We recommend that the Government publishes an annual account of its spending on economic crime, including an account of how the yield from the Economic Crime Levy has been spent, and an evaluation of its effectiveness.
