UK Treasury Plans Full Crypto Regulation by 2027 🇬🇧
The UK government is moving to bring cryptocurrencies under formal financial regulation, treating digital assets like traditional financial products. New legislation is expected by October 2027, giving the industry clear legal boundaries and stronger consumer protections.
Key points:
• Crypto firms — exchanges, custodians, and wallet providers — must register and comply with standards similar to traditional finance, including transparency, risk controls, and market abuse safeguards.
• The FCA will oversee enforcement and set rules for trading platforms, custody, stablecoins, and other crypto services.
• The goal is to boost consumer confidence, reduce fraud, and increase transparency, positioning the UK as a hub for digital asset innovation.
📊 Next Steps: Final rules are expected from the FCA by the end of 2026, with full implementation in 2027.
