UK introduced Draft Laws to Govern Crypto Exchanges

London tightens the screws—new rules aim to rein in crypto exchanges with FSA-style supervision. Finally, a regulatory playbook for an industry that’s been operating like the financial equivalent of a pirate ship.

Key changes: Mandatory licensing, capital reserves, and transaction monitoring. Because apparently ’trust us, we’re decentralized’ wasn’t cutting it with the suits at Threadneedle Street.

Closing thought: Nothing says ’mature asset class’ like needing bureaucrats to hold your hand. Welcome to legitimacy, crypto—hope you kept receipts.
