MPs to look into uses, misuses, tax implications of cryptocurrencies

From Checkpoint, 5:39 pm on 13 July 2021

Parliament is mining for data on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Cryptocurrencies are a type of digital cash that's not managed by a bank but by networks of users online.

MPs will look at how they're created and traded, used or misused.

Finance and expenditure Committee Chair Duncan Webb admits he knows nothing about them. He joins Lisa Owen to discuss.
