FCA Pushes Ahead With Major Crypto Rules in Final Consultation Stage

UK regulator seeks feedback on 10 proposals as it advances a framework to bring digital assets within the regulatory perimeter.

Jan 26, 20269:21 AMNewsroom AI

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has entered the final phase of its crypto rulemaking, formally seeking industry feedback on 10 key regulatory proposals and describing the consultation as the “final step” in developing the country’s digital-asset oversight framework [1].

The proposals aim to apply traditional finance standards to cryptoasset firms and to bring digital assets firmly within the UK’s regulatory perimeter, reflecting the government’s broader plan to regulate the sector [2][3].

The FCA opened the consultation on Friday and has invited stakeholders to respond to the 10 proposals as it moves toward publishing final rules for the sector [1][4].

The consultation marks the regulator’s last formal feedback round before finalising the new crypto rulebook, with responses expected to inform the FCA’s next steps in implementing the regime [1].
