Blockchain.com expands operations to Ghana in push for African growth
Blockchain.com announced today that it is officially expanding into Ghana, marking the latest step in its strategy to deepen its presence across Africa following strong performance in Nigeria.
This follows the company's retail launch in Nigeria early last year, where it established a base in Lagos and said it achieved over 700% growth in brokerage transaction volume. The most traded assets in Nigeria were USDT, BTC, and TRX, according to a press release.
"Our growth in Nigeria over the past year has demonstrated the immense potential for digital assets across the African region," said Owen Odia, general manager of Africa at Blockchain.com. Africa represents our mission to make financial services available to everyone globally. We are building for a long-term future by developing new infrastructure, investing in local talent, and creating region-specific products tailored to local needs."
The cryptocurrency brokerage firm also cited significant organic growth in Ghana before the formal launch. Over the past year, the platform recorded a 140% increase in active users from Ghana and an 80% rise in transaction volume, the release said.
Blockchain.com said it plans to scale to additional African markets in the coming periods, citing opportunities in stablecoins and digital assets that can improve cross-border settlement efficiency, reduce remittance costs, and support emerging digital commerce ecosystems across West Africa.
Global expansion
Blockchain.com's expansion in Africa is part of the firm's growing global footprint. Last month, the company secured registration from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which enabled it to deliver brokerage, custodial, and institutional-grade crypto services in the UK. This came a few months after Blockchain.com scored its EU MiCA license. The firm is also reportedly planning to go public in the U.S. this year.
Since 2011, Blockchain.com has processed more than $1.2 trillion in crypto transactions, created over 90 million wallets, and verified more than 40 million users, according to its statement.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has just announced the next phase in the crypto regulatory roadmap – focusing on obtaining community opinions on key activities such as staking, lending, DeFi, trading, and even borrowing money to buy crypto. This is seen as an important step to bring the digital asset market in the UK into a clear legal framework, laying the foundation for sustainable development.
Clear regulations – great trust for the crypto industry

UK Just Declared WAR on Unregulated Stablecoins!
This isn’t a proposal it’s a crypto purge plan.
£200M in stablecoins? Not protected.
No custodian? Shut it down.
No redemption rights? Illegal.
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority just dropped a 57-page warning shot and it's aimed straight at shady crypto firms hiding behind “decentralization.”
✅ Stablecoins must be backed.
✅ Redeemable at face value.
✅ Custodians must hold your funds OR ELSE.
This could wipe out half the so called “stable” coins overnight.
And here’s the kicker
The Bank of England is joining in.
Global copycat crackdowns are coming.
You have until July 31 to speak up or stay silent forever.
This is the start of regulatory Armageddon are you ready?
Drop your hot take.
Should stablecoins be strictly controlled or left free?

UK Plans to Ban Borrowing to Buy Crypto!
The UK’s top financial regulator (FCA) wants to prohibit retail investors from using borrowed money to purchase cryptocurrencies.
Why?

#CryptoRegulation2025 In 2025, #cryptocurrency regulations are expected to evolve significantly across various regions, aiming to balance innovation with consumer protection.
United States💥 The administration under President Donald Trump is anticipated to adopt a more crypto-friendly stance. The U.S. Congress is expected to prioritize cryptocurrency legislation, focusing on the Stablecoin Act and the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century (#FIT21 ) Act. These initiatives aim to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins and integrate digital assets into existing tax and banking laws.
European Union💥 The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), effective from December 30, 2024, seeks to provide stringent guidelines for crypto activities. However, the U.S.'s crypto-friendly policies may influence companies to prioritize the U.S. market over Europe's stricter landscape.
United Kingdom✨The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) plans to implement new regulations to align crypto firms with traditional finance sectors. Starting in late 2024, the FCA will review market abuse regulations, including insider information disclosure. By early 2025, discussions will cover order handling, custody, and new prudential rules around capital and risk. Additionally, the #FCA aims to adopt the Consumer Duty and Senior Managers and Certification Regime for digital assets by late 2025, with full implementation expected by 2026.
Global Perspective➡️ As cryptocurrencies become more integrated into the global economic system, countries are expected to develop and implement regulations that address issues such as taxation, anti-money laundering, and consumer protection. The evolving regulatory landscape aims to foster innovation while ensuring market integrity and consumer trust.
Overall, #2025 is poised to be a pivotal year for cryptocurrency regulations, with various regions implementing frameworks to support the industry's growth and stability.

🌍 #CryptoRegulationAlert – UK proposes exempting crypto firms from key rules: boom or risk?
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has shocked the industry by proposing to exempt crypto firms from several core principles that normally apply to traditional finance, including integrity, due diligence, care, and putting the client’s interests first.
This move is part of the UK’s broader strategy to attract crypto business, taking a more flexible stance similar to recent U.S. regulatory shifts. But it’s not all soft rules: at the same time, the FCA is pushing for tighter operational risk controls, motivated by incidents like the $1.5 billion Bybit hack earlier this year.
📊 Key facts you should know:
• Nearly 12% of UK adults have held crypto, compared to just 4% in 2021 – adoption is growing fast.
• The consultation period for these new rules is open until November 12, 2025.
• Industry giants like Coinbase and Kraken are already expanding operations in the UK, anticipating a friendlier regulatory environment.
⸻
⚠️ Why does this matter?
1. Less regulation = more room for innovation and crypto growth. But it could also create space for irresponsible practices.
2. Boosting global competitiveness: The UK wants to become a “crypto hub,” attracting exchanges, startups, and capital.
3. Potential loss of consumer protection: If exemptions are too broad, users could be left more vulnerable.
⸻
👉 What’s your take?
Will these exemptions accelerate crypto adoption and innovation in the UK, or will they backfire with bigger risks for users?

FCA Ramps Up Crypto Enforcement in the UK! 🇬🇧🕵️♀️
🚨 UK’s FCA Steps Up Crypto Enforcement—Are Rogue Exchanges on Notice? 🕵️♂️🔒
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority has launched a dedicated enforcement task force to clamp down on illicit crypto firms. The team—composed of three full-time staff and 12 secondees—is ramping up oversight after recent incidents, including fines over £3.5M and arrests linked to illegal exchanges.
Despite improved application quality, approval timelines remain slow, taking nearly a year. This crackdown reflects a broader push to build a comprehensive, secure crypto framework—protecting investors and cleaning up the industry.
As security tightens, transparent, compliant projects may benefit most—especially those focused on user safety and regulatory alignment.

UK FCA Proposal: Some Traditional Financial Rules Will No Longer Be Mandatorily Applied to Crypto Companies
Recently, the UK financial regulatory body FCA proposed a draft intending to exempt certain 'conduct standards' requirements of traditional financial services for cryptocurrency companies, such as the requirement for companies to demonstrate 'integrity, skill, care, diligence, and customer interest'. These rules are standard for traditional financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies, but due to the uniqueness of the crypto business, the FCA believes that applying them comprehensively may stifle innovation in the industry. The draft also notes the need to strengthen the management of cybersecurity and operational risks. Public consultation will continue until November.
The United Kingdom plans to ban the use of credit cards to purchase Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies
The United Kingdom intends to impose new restrictions on the use of credit cards for purchasing Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, in a move that reflects growing concerns about rising consumer debt associated with investing in high-risk digital assets.
This proposal was included in a discussion paper issued by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) titled DP25/1, warning that buying cryptocurrencies with borrowed money could lead to unsustainable debt, especially in light of price volatility and some individuals relying on the value of these assets to meet their obligations.
The authority is considering a complete or partial ban on the use of credit, including credit cards, to finance cryptocurrency purchases.
This includes a move to curb excessive borrowing and avoid losses resulting from speculative trading.
The paper also noted that a number of investors mistakenly believe they are covered by compensation schemes such as FSCS or FOS, while these mechanisms do not cover most digital assets.
At the same time, qualified stablecoins may be exempt from these proposed restrictions, reflecting a potential recognition of their importance in payment and transfer operations.
This initiative comes as part of broader efforts to regulate the cryptocurrency sector in the United Kingdom.

FCA’s Focus on #UK Stablecoin Regulations
The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (#FCA ) has announced that it will finalise the regulatory framework for stablecoins by 2026. The aim is to integrate blockchain technology into traditional finance to accelerate economic growth.
The FCA is focusing on those stablecoins that are pegged to fiat currencies such as the US dollar or the British pound. One goal of this initiative is also to promote sterling-denominated stablecoins and advance the legal framework for digital assets.
According to FCA CEO Nikhil Rathi, "Supporting UK‑issued stablecoins is a means for faster and easier payments and is part of our growth agenda."
The market is viewing this announcement positively but with caution. Experts believe this step could allow the UK to balance financial innovation and consumer protection.

Sling Money gets UK FCA approval to offer crypto services
On December 24, 2025, Avian Labs, the developer of the crypto payments app Sling Money, received official approval from the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to operate as a crypto services provider.
Key Highlights of the Approval
Expansion of Regulatory Reach: The FCA approval follows a prior license from the Dutch regulator in April 2025, strengthening Sling Money's presence across Europe alongside its existing regulation in the U.S..
Operational Readiness: While the app has been available in the UK in a closed beta phase, the new authorization allows it to transition toward a full launch.
Blockchain Infrastructure: The platform utilizes the Solana blockchain to facilitate instant fund transfers and supports local currency withdrawals in 80 countries.
Context: Growing Popularity of Stablecoin Payments
The approval comes as stablecoin-based transfers gain traction as a mainstream alternative to traditional cross-border payments.
Market Growth: In 2025, the global stablecoin market cap surged past $300 billion, with monthly transfer volumes exceeding $2 trillion.
Strategic Advantage: Industry data shows that 48% of firms prioritize real-time settlement as the primary benefit of stablecoins, favoring speed over traditional cost savings.
UK Regulatory Roadmap: The UK government has been actively developing a regulatory framework for stablecoins, with the Bank of England and FCA recently consulting on rules for "systemic stablecoins" to be used in retail payments.

UK Crypto Users Vanish: 35% Drop, But $BTC Capital Is Concentrating 🤯
The UK crypto landscape is undergoing a massive purge, according to the latest FCA report. We just saw a 35% collapse in user numbers, dropping from 7 million to 4.5 million investors.
