UK CRYPTO REGULATION: FCA MOVES CLOSER TO REAL RULES
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has launched its final consultation on applying the Consumer Duty to crypto firms, marking a major step toward full crypto regulation. This isn’t just another paper — it’s part of the roadmap toward rules that could shape how exchanges, wallets, and other crypto businesses must operate.
The Consumer Duty aims to ensure that crypto companies treat customers fairly and transparently, balancing innovation with real protection for everyday users. The regulator wants feedback from the industry and the public before the consultation closes on March 12, 2026.
This move comes as the FCA and UK government work toward implementing a comprehensive crypto regime by 2027, giving firms clarity and consumers better safeguards — all while allowing space for innovation to thrive.
