Resources for responsible crypto communication and evaluation
Use these resources to make crypto content clearer and safer for audiences in the UK. The goal is not promotion. It is accurate framing: what a term means, what risks apply, and how crypto might connect to the wider economy through payments, investment, innovation, and consumer outcomes.
What this page helps with
- Clear definitions and scope for common crypto terms
- Risk framing that avoids implied guarantees 🛡️

Toolkit modules
Each module is short and practical. Use them as a pre-flight check before publishing content, briefing stakeholders, or planning a pilot.
- Cryptocurrency: A digital asset used on a blockchain network. Some are designed for payments; others are primarily speculative.
- Stablecoin: A crypto asset designed to track a reference value (often a currency). Stability depends on how it is backed and managed.
- Tokenisation: Representing an asset or claim (such as a fund unit) on a blockchain to improve settlement or record-keeping.
- Custody: How private keys are stored and protected. Custody failures can lead to irreversible loss.
- State purpose: education, analysis, or product explanation.
- Avoid promises: no guaranteed returns, no “risk-free” language.
- Define scope: what you do and do not cover (fees, volatility, custody).
- Use balanced examples: include downside scenarios and uncertainty.
- Make actions optional: avoid pressure or urgency-based calls-to-action.
