Ep 548: Crypto 2.0 is here but is gambling ready?


Listen Later

In this episode of iGaming Daily, host Joe Streeter is joined by Chris Elliott, Commercial and Regulatory Lawyer at Wiggins, to dive into the dynamic intersection of the UK gambling market and the rapidly evolving crypto sector.

As digital currencies continue to gain traction, the pair examines how recent financial decisions—such as Barclaycard’s move to block credit card purchases of cryptocurrencies—are shaping the future of crypto use within regulated gambling environments.

The episode provides a deep analysis of regulatory implications, including how existing frameworks might adapt to accommodate crypto betting while managing inherent risks. Streeter and Elliott discuss the growing influence of public figures and social media influencers in promoting crypto-related gambling, as well as the potential for frameworks like the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation to provide much-needed clarity and consumer protection.

Listeners will gain insights into the challenges facing the industry, including the volatility of digital assets, compliance concerns, and the tension between innovation and regulation.
