UK Crypto Rulebook Nears 2027 Start Date:

The full market rules will come into effect in October 2027, and the U.K. is set to move outright to a comprehensive framework. Additionally, the FCA is amending the current financial services regulations to include crypto regulations, along with other provisions for market integrity, disclosure, and conduct.

The consultation related to this proposal ranges from stable money, the nature of decentralised finance, the nature of trading platforms, the involvement of intermediaries, and staking. Even if the different elements of this proposal are articulated quite clearly, there are several matters that are not so clearly defined with regard to the crossing of borders, stable money, and the regulation of the nature of decentralised finance. The UK learns the best practices of the EU and US models and takes a hybrid approach to applying the established law if the situation requires the application of the established law but to create the appropriate regulation related to the emerging risk of cryptocurrency.

Meanwhile, the transition period related to the proposed rule was only 18 months.
