United Kingdom Sets 2027 Target for Comprehensive Crypto Regulation
I heard that the UK Treasury has announced its intention to regulate crypto assets under the same framework as traditional financial products by 2027, establishing a long-term roadmap for regulatory clarity.
The goal is to provide certainty for firms to invest and innovate while bringing consumer protection standards in line with established finance, all under the oversight of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
For investors, this move reduces the long-term regulatory ambiguity that has been a key risk factor in the UK market. While potentially increasing compliance costs, a clear and comprehensive framework is critical for attracting large-scale institutional capital that requires legal and operational certainty.
