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? 👇

🚨 Binance UK: Essential Guide to "The Gateway" Compliance
If you are accessing Binance from the United Kingdom, completing "The Gateway" process is now a mandatory requirement. To ensure your account remains fully functional and compliant with UK regulations, here is everything you need to know.
Why is this required?,
• Regulatory Compliance: To align with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules on Financial Promotions.
• Investor Protection: Ensuring users understand the high-risk nature of crypto assets before trading.
The Step-by-Step Process,
• Investor Categorization: You will be asked to declare your investor type. Most retail users fall under the "Restricted Investor" category (investing less than 10% of net assets in high-risk products).
• The Appropriateness Test: A mandatory quiz designed to assess your understanding of crypto volatility, leverage, and risk management.
• Risk Awareness: Detailed disclosures explaining that crypto assets are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
24-Hour Cooling-off Period: Once you pass the assessment, UK law requires a 24-hour waiting period before you can resume trading.
Important Tips for Success:
⚠️ Don't Rush: Read the educational materials provided before taking the quiz.
⚠️ Be Accurate: Ensure your investor categorization reflects your true financial situation.
⚠️ Failure Policy: If you fail the quiz multiple times, you may have to wait before attempting it again, which could delay your trading.

UK crypto awareness is now at 91%, but actual ownership has fallen to 8%, down from 12% last year.
The latest FCA research shows fewer people are holding crypto, while those who do are investing larger amounts and relying more on centralised exchanges like Coinbase and Binance.
Small holders are fading, risk appetite is rising, and future growth now looks tied to regulation, not hype.

#CryptoRegulation2025 In 2025, #cryptocurrency regulations are expected to evolve significantly across various regions, aiming to balance innovation with consumer protection.
United States💥 The administration under President Donald Trump is anticipated to adopt a more crypto-friendly stance. The U.S. Congress is expected to prioritize cryptocurrency legislation, focusing on the Stablecoin Act and the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century (#FIT21 ) Act. These initiatives aim to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins and integrate digital assets into existing tax and banking laws.
European Union💥 The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), effective from December 30, 2024, seeks to provide stringent guidelines for crypto activities. However, the U.S.'s crypto-friendly policies may influence companies to prioritize the U.S. market over Europe's stricter landscape.
United Kingdom✨The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) plans to implement new regulations to align crypto firms with traditional finance sectors. Starting in late 2024, the FCA will review market abuse regulations, including insider information disclosure. By early 2025, discussions will cover order handling, custody, and new prudential rules around capital and risk. Additionally, the #FCA aims to adopt the Consumer Duty and Senior Managers and Certification Regime for digital assets by late 2025, with full implementation expected by 2026.
Global Perspective➡️ As cryptocurrencies become more integrated into the global economic system, countries are expected to develop and implement regulations that address issues such as taxation, anti-money laundering, and consumer protection. The evolving regulatory landscape aims to foster innovation while ensuring market integrity and consumer trust.
Overall, #2025 is poised to be a pivotal year for cryptocurrency regulations, with various regions implementing frameworks to support the industry's growth and stability.

🌍 #CryptoRegulationAlert – UK proposes exempting crypto firms from key rules: boom or risk?
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has shocked the industry by proposing to exempt crypto firms from several core principles that normally apply to traditional finance, including integrity, due diligence, care, and putting the client’s interests first.
This move is part of the UK’s broader strategy to attract crypto business, taking a more flexible stance similar to recent U.S. regulatory shifts. But it’s not all soft rules: at the same time, the FCA is pushing for tighter operational risk controls, motivated by incidents like the $1.5 billion Bybit hack earlier this year.
📊 Key facts you should know:
• Nearly 12% of UK adults have held crypto, compared to just 4% in 2021 – adoption is growing fast.
• The consultation period for these new rules is open until November 12, 2025.
• Industry giants like Coinbase and Kraken are already expanding operations in the UK, anticipating a friendlier regulatory environment.
⸻
⚠️ Why does this matter?
1. Less regulation = more room for innovation and crypto growth. But it could also create space for irresponsible practices.
2. Boosting global competitiveness: The UK wants to become a “crypto hub,” attracting exchanges, startups, and capital.
3. Potential loss of consumer protection: If exemptions are too broad, users could be left more vulnerable.
⸻
👉 What’s your take?
Will these exemptions accelerate crypto adoption and innovation in the UK, or will they backfire with bigger risks for users?
Drop your view below: “#TeamGrowth” if you believe it’s positive, or “#TeamCaution” if you think the risks outweigh the benefits. 💥
