UK FCA Seeks Feedback on Guidance for Crypto Rules Ahead of Rollout

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated a consultation on guidance for the country's forthcoming crypto regime. This move is part of the FCA's efforts to establish a broader framework for regulating cryptocurrencies in the UK.

The consultation, which closes on June 3, 2026, aims to gather industry feedback and provide clarity on the requirements for various aspects of the crypto sector. These include stablecoin issuance, crypto trading, custody, and staking.

According to the FCA, companies will be able to start applying for authorization under the new regime as early as September 2026. However, the authority has stated that authorization will not be automatically granted to companies already registered under existing regulations.
