The UK is moving closer to a full crypto rulebook. 🇬🇧

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has opened a new consultation proposing tighter oversight of the crypto market including clearer standards for digital asset listings/admissions and disclosures, stronger protections against market abuse (like insider dealing and manipulation), and rules for trading platforms, brokers/intermediaries, plus staking, lending, and borrowing.

This is part of the UK’s wider plan to bring major crypto activities into a regulated framework similar to other financial markets, with a focus on consumer protection and market confidence. The consultation runs until 12 February 2026, and the broader regime is expected to come into force around October 2027.
