Abstract generation in progress

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has just published a consultation document regarding the application of current financial regulations to cryptocurrencies, aimed at establishing a legal framework for the industry. The FCA proposes minimum standards that cryptocurrency companies must meet, focusing on balancing innovation, competitiveness, and consumer protection.

David Geale, the CEO of the payment and fintech sector, stated that the new regulations will not completely eliminate investment risks, but will help businesses comply with common standards while increasing investor confidence.

The FCA also consulted on the application of the Consumer Duty ( for cryptocurrencies, as well as the complaint handling mechanism through the Financial Conduct Authority. This move follows a draft law from the Treasury aimed at bringing cryptocurrency exchanges and brokers into the regulatory framework, asserting that the UK is "open for business" but firmly against fraud.
