The UK financial regulatory authority is about to complete the final consultation phase on key cryptocurrency regulations.

PANews January 26 News, according to Cointelegraph, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has entered the final consultation phase for key cryptocurrency regulations, seeking final feedback on 10 regulatory proposals, with a deadline of March 12, 2026. These proposals aim to apply traditional financial standards to the crypto market, covering areas such as business conduct, credit purchase of crypto assets, regulatory reporting, asset protection, and retail collateral handling. As part of the UK government’s crypto roadmap, the FCA plans to open licensing applications for crypto asset service providers in September 2026 (not yet finalized). This licensing system will impose stricter supervision on crypto companies, requiring them to obtain FCA authorization to operate in the UK.
