    Read excerpt

    LONDON — Cryptocurrency giants are lining up to apply for licenses under a new regime in the U.K. that will regulate all their services to consumers for the first time.

The new U.K. prime minister has taken office with gaps of billions of pounds in depleted government coffers, huge ambitions to revitalize Britain’s industry, and little space to borrow more on the financial markets.
