UK Finalizes Crypto Regulatory Framework
UK Publishes Final Crypto Regulatory Framework With Diluted Stablecoin Capital Rules
The UK is building a sweeping crypto and tokenization regulatory framework, increasingly coordinating with the US while racing to lead digital asset markets.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority released its final crypto regulatory framework, establishing mandatory licensing requirements set to take effect in October 2027 and covering capital requirements, market abuse rules, and stablecoin oversight. Stablecoin capital requirements were diluted relative to earlier proposals. The FCA separately pledged to simplify crypto and stablecoin rules as part of the final framework publication.
