FCA Seeks Industry Feedback on Proposed UK Crypto Regulations
The UK Financial Conduct Authority has entered the final phase of its crypto regulatory consultation, seeking stakeholder input on ten proposed rules designed to bring digital assets in line with traditional finance standards. The March 12 deadline precedes a September 2026 licensing regime launch for crypto service providers.
New business conduct rules and credit purchase restrictions headline the proposals, which aim to standardize market operations while enhancing consumer protections. The FCA's approach mirrors its oversight of conventional financial services, signaling maturation of crypto asset governance.
