Despite this past year’s vicious market downturn, ex-UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak maintains a vision to make the UK a leading crypto technology player. For firms like a16z, which recently announced its expansion to London, the UK offers a reprieve from the US where regulators have been criticized for heavy-handedness and lack of clarity.
