๐จ๐ฌ๐ง The UK just opened applications for its new crypto regime. ๐
From September 30, 2026, crypto firms can start applying for FCA authorisation.
But thereโs a deadline:
๐
Applications close: February 28, 2027
๐๏ธ New regime starts: October 25, 2027
And this isn't just a simple registration.
Firms offering regulated crypto services will need to meet FCA standards covering areas such as consumer protection, governance, custody and market conduct.
One important detail:
โ ๏ธ FCA registration or authorisation is not an endorsement of a crypto business. Firms still have to meet the required standards.
For the crypto industry, this could mark a major shift from a largely AML focused framework toward broader financial regulation.
๐ Could clearer UK rules make regulated crypto infrastructure more attractive to institutions?
