November 15 morning podcast — UK finance bill includes virtual asset businesses, Bitcoin in the $65,000 range, long liquidations $860 million

The UK Finance Bill 2026–27, introduced to Parliament, adds cryptoasset service providers to the list of financial institutions subject to information notices under clauses 231 and 232, broadening the scope of digital reporting requirements. Bitcoin traded in the $65,000 range as the market digested the tighter regulatory-surveillance signal, with $860 million in long liquidations over the 24-hour period. The change is not a direct business restriction but shows major economies tightening the link between tax and supervisory reporting frameworks. Traders will watch whether the measure advances through Parliament and whether further jurisdictions follow with similar information-sharing requirements.
