最新报道：Welcome to the US Cryptocurrency Morning Briefing—your essential information for the day's most important developments in the cryptocurrency space. Grab a cup of coffee and take a peek inside Bitcoin (BTC) in UK finance. Beneath the glittering facade of the City of London, reports suggest two quietly emerging companies are beginning to challenge the very foundations of how capital flows through the UK financial system, rewriting the rules with code rather than law books. Today's Cryptocurrency News: A Smarter Web, Satsuma, and Bitcoin's Blueprint for Disrupting UK Capital In the heart of the City of London, where financial tradition and regulation meet, a quiet revolution centered around Bitcoin is unfolding. A new wave of blockchain-native companies is pushing the boundaries of what capital markets can look like in the digital age. Among them are Satsuma, a London-based tokenization platform, and Smarter Web, an on-chain venture capital studio. These two companies are reinventing how capital is raised, accessed, and managed within the UK's heavily regulated financial ecosystem. In a press release on Wednesday, Smarter Web announced the launch of a new initiative that uses Bitcoin-backed asset rails to tokenize early-stage venture capital in the UK. The studio, which previously supported the Base native app, is currently building a regulatory-compliant path for retail and institutional investors to enter the high-growth UK tech sector through a Bitcoin-denominated capital structure. Satsuma, meanwhile, is launching what it calls a "post-ETF capital issuance layer." This model issues stocks, bonds, and hybrid equity instruments as programmable tokens directly on a blockchain network. These tokens can interact with decentralized liquidity, achieve instant settlement, and allow voting and dividend distributions to be fully processed through smart contracts. Both companies have stated their alignment with UK regulators, positioning their infrastructure to be compliant with the EU's MiCA standards and sandbox-ready in the UK. This strategic posture may enable them to stay ahead of larger, established players still constrained by traditional custodial models. Is Bitcoin-backed equity the next frontier of UK financial engineering? Bitcoin's presence in these models goes beyond symbolic significance. As recent US cryptocurrency news publications have indicated, Smarter Web's latest experiments include tokenized offerings using Bitcoin as capital collateral. It also includes a programmable incentive layer, blurring the lines between venture capital and decentralized finance (DeFi) primitives. This design could create a new form of Bitcoin-denominated equity, particularly attractive to national investors wary of fiat currency debasement and regulatory arbitrage. For skeptics, this could represent more of a test: in an unintentional race, whoever can crack compliant on-chain capital issuance in the UK could lead the next generation of fintech infrastructure, with Bitcoin positioning itself as a bridge. Meanwhile, the reports come just days after former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne expressed concern that the UK is lagging behind in the Bitcoin race. Besides Bitcoin, Osborne also expressed concern that the UK will miss out on the stablecoin wave, which he said represents the next phase of growth for cryptocurrencies.
