Great news for regulated crypto in the UK! 🚀🇬🇧
Blockchain.com has finally secured FCA registration as a licensed cryptoasset business — nearly four years after withdrawing its original application back in March 2022 (due to an impending deadline and no approval in sight).
Key highlights:
• Added to the FCA’s registry on Tuesday (Feb 10, 2026) under trading name “BC Operations”.
• This allows Blockchain.com (a London-based pioneer founded in 2011) to offer brokerage, custodial wallets, and institutional-grade crypto services in full compliance with UK rules.
• Comes after the company already grabbed a MiCA license in Europe last year — now strengthening its regulated footprint across both UK and EEA.
• A persistence win in a tough regulatory environment where many firms have struggled or exited the UK.
This shows the FCA’s regime is moving forward, with more authorizations expected as the full crypto framework ramps up toward 2027. Positive signal for user protection and mainstream adoption!
Thoughts? Does this encourage more exchanges to go the regulated route in the UK, or is the process still too slow? 👇
