UK FCA seeks crypto rules feedback

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is actively seeking public input on its proposed cryptocurrency regulations, which are slated for implementation by October 2027. This consultation focuses on clarifying how various digital asset activities, including stablecoin issuance, trading platforms, custody services, and staking, will fit within the existing regulatory framework. The FCA aims to gather diverse perspectives from individuals, industry participants, and policymakers to refine its approach before the new regime takes effect. Feedback is due by June 3, 2026, with applications for authorization opening on September 30, 2026.
