LONDON, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said on Monday that the rise of crypto assets was helping illegal activity.
"I'm afraid that the advent of digital means of payment, and in particular crypto assets, I'm afraid that the evidence suggests, and we see this, is that it is providing another means of payment for people who want to conduct criminal activity," Bailey said during an online question-and-answer session organised by the BoE.
