  As an expert in the field of digital currencies, I can provide some insights into the regulations and tax implications for using digital currencies like Zelle in the UK. While there are currently no specific regulations for digital currencies like Zelle, businesses and individuals are expected to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. This means that users of digital currencies may be required to provide identification and undergo verification processes when using digital currency services. In terms of tax implications, the UK tax authority, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), treats digital currencies as assets for tax purposes. This means that any gains made from the sale or exchange of digital currencies may be subject to capital gains tax. It is important for individuals using digital currencies to keep track of their transactions and report any taxable gains to HMRC.
