Just how far down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole were you thinking of going there?
Wild guess: Sunak told HMRC and the treasury to temporarily place all their spare cash into DeFi "yield farming" things like 3AC, Luna/Terra, Celsius, Voyager etc. This was going be going to be kept hush-hush until the big reveal of the Royal Mint NFT later this year when the plan was also to announce that all the Covid fraud losses had been made good from crypto returns (and Rishi's genius). Of course now those ponzi schemes have collapsed, the govt has a liquidity crisis not unlike all the "withdrawals suspended" crypto platforms.
