The financial services regulatory commission has been working with digital currency operation Epiphyte, a firm that settles cross-border payments using blockchain technology.https://news.bitcoin.com/fca-bitcoin-cross-border-transactions/ But are they actually using Bitcoin ?
"Epiphyte will work with the FCA to provide cost efficient and secure transactions, using
