Earlier this year, the UK government laid out plans to become a “global hub” for the crypto industry. City minister John Glen said in a speech in April that the government was determined to show “the UK is open for business and open for crypto businesses.” But crypto oversight remains a puzzle to regulators worldwide--including the UK--and according to crypto players like former Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond the UK has "missed a trick" on digital asset trading. Hammond, who is now a senior adviser to Copper.co, a London-based crypto custodian and trading services provider, tells David Merritt and Francine Lacqua it isn't too late for London to catch-up to the EU on setting clear regulation, but it's getting dangerously close.Plus: Bloomberg crytpo reporter Emily Nicolle on how the UK currently views crypto and how crypto companies currently view the UK, and reporter Charlie Wells on the addiction specialists offering treatments for compulsive crypto traders.

Today on the show, we're talking about what's in your wallet and all things payment cards. It's the tenth anniversary of contactless payments in the UK, and we're also going to look at the pros and cons of charge charges and reward cards. The first contactless cards in the UK were launched in September 2007, with 111 million in issue in June 2017. During the first half of this year the amount spent using contactless technology (£23.23 billion) almost matched the amount spent in the whole of 2016 (£25 billion). Contactless usage is expected to increase four-fold by 2026. Is this growth in contactless payment a positive thing or is it changing our spending habits, resulting in less conscious decisions about our money?
