According to ChainCatcher, the United Kingdom is set to incorporate crypto assets into its financial services regulatory framework by October 2027. HM Treasury has submitted the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Crypto Assets) Regulations 2025 to Parliament in December 2025, aiming to formally authorize activities such as operating trading platforms, custody, staking, and lending.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released three consultation papers proposing governance, information disclosure, anti-market manipulation, and prudent capital requirements for trading platforms, token issuers, and service providers, similar to traditional finance. Additionally, the UK government has initiated an independent review of foreign financial intervention, assessing political financing risks, including cryptocurrency donations. The related report is expected to be completed by March 2026.#UK #CryptoAssets #Regulation #HM Treasury #FCA #FinancialServices #MarketManipulation #CryptoRegulation #CryptoDonations #FinancialConductAuthority #CryptoLending #CryptoStaking #CryptoTrading #PoliticalFinancing
