City Minister Andrew Griffith sees cryptocurrencies as an increasingly important part of London’s portfolio. “I think it builds naturally on our strengths in terms of things like tech and payments, technologies and clearance,” he says on this week’s In the City. Griffith joins David Merritt for a conversation in New York City, where he was meeting with investors and talking to firms about how London can factor into their futures.

When it comes to regulating crypto assets, artificial intelligence and other emerging domains, Griffith says there’s a chance for London to be “a bit of an honest broker.” He explains “there will be other regimes that are more dynamic but don’t have some of the quality and trust attributes of London.”
