Coinbase Launches Over 170 Futures Contracts for Professional Investors in the UK

Coinbase is launching over 170 futures contracts, perpetuals, and crypto options for qualifying professional investors in the UK. This expansion follows the exchange's July receipt of a UK investment services license, allowing it to offer regulated financial instruments alongside crypto products under its "Everything Exchange" strategy. Eligible investors can trade contracts on cryptocurrencies, commodities, equities, and forex with up to 50x leverage, available 24/7. The rollout is enabled under a specific investment services license and is separate from the UK's broader crypto regulatory regime set for 2027. The launch marks a key step in Coinbase's strategy to integrate traditional finance and crypto derivatives on one platform, citing high global demand where crypto derivatives trading volume regularly exceeds spot markets. Access will be phased in over coming weeks, initially limited to UK professional investors.

As New Rules Approach, UK Lawmakers Pressure Banks to Ensure Crypto Access

UK lawmakers are intensifying scrutiny of banks' treatment of cryptocurrency companies as the country prepares to enact official regulation for much of the digital asset industry. Gurinder Singh Josan MP and Lord Vazi of Didcot, co-chairs of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Crypto and Digital Assets, sent a letter to leading UK banks on August 11th. They requested the banks detail their account policies for crypto firms, transaction restrictions, and any planned changes once the new regulatory regime takes effect. The legislators warn that banking access is a major potential obstacle for UK crypto businesses and could undermine the success of the incoming regulatory framework. The APPG has received numerous complaints from licensed and compliant crypto companies facing difficulties in opening or maintaining bank accounts, along with payment limits on crypto-related transactions. While acknowledging banks' anti-money laundering and consumer protection duties, the lawmakers question whether broad restrictions should persist for firms once they are licensed under the new system. They argue banks should assess companies based on their individual risk profiles rather than their sector alone. This view echoes earlier comments from Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Lucy Rigby. The letter is part of a broader APPG inquiry launched in July, examining the scale of the banking access problem, its impact on investment and growth, and whether further government action is needed. The investigation covers exchanges, custodians, payment firms, wallet providers, and stablecoin issuers. Banks have been asked what policymakers could do to ease access to financial services for legitimate crypto businesses. Responses are due by August 31st and will inform the group's recommendations to the government. The timing is critical as the UK aims to attract digital asset firms while implementing clearer rules. Lawmakers fear that if licensed companies continue to struggle for basic banking services, the new regulatory regime may fail to achieve its broader competitiveness goals.

Lawmakers Warn That Banks' Refusal to Serve Crypto Clients Could Paralyze Growth of the UK Market

Around 40% of domestic cryptocurrency transfers in the UK are currently being delayed or entirely rejected by British banks, and a majority of exchanges have seen an increase in blocked transactions over the past year. Lawmakers, including leaders of the UK's parliamentary Crypto and Digital Assets Group, are now questioning this trend, warning that major banks refusing to serve crypto clients could paralyze the growth of the UK market. They have called on banks to explain their stance towards digital asset firms following numerous reports of such companies struggling to open accounts. Industry executives argue that financial institutions are hindering properly registered and compliant businesses. Earlier this year, the government urged banks to treat all crypto sector enterprises fairly. A cross-party parliamentary group also launched an investigation into how banks block accounts and restrict transactions for digital asset companies. The group's co-chairs, Lord Vaizey and MP Dr. Gurinder Singh Josan, recently stated that banks are stalling the UK's crypto boom by denying services. They warn these restrictions risk undermining the effectiveness of the upcoming UK crypto regulatory framework, set for 2027. Banks justify their actions as necessary to protect customers from crypto fraud and volatility, a stance reinforced by recent stronger risk warnings from the Financial Conduct Authority. Concerns are rising that these banking restrictions could undermine the UK's ambitions to attract digital asset firms and weaken its position as a global hub. The issue may worsen as the government introduces clearer regulations. Some in the industry also express apprehension that the new Labour government, under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, might deprioritize the fintech and digital assets sectors. However, legal experts maintain that the UK's regulatory stability remains a key draw for international companies.

Media: World Liberty Financial Received $100 Million from Businessman with Questionable Reputation

The cryptocurrency project World Liberty Financial (WLF), affiliated with the family of former U.S. President Donald Trump, received a $100 million investment from businessman Guren "Bobby" Zhou, who is reportedly under investigation in the UK for suspected money laundering, according to The New York Times. Zhou, previously known as a flooring salesman, purchased WLF tokens through his company Aqua 1, becoming one of the project's largest investors. While named in a November 2025 UK court document as a participant in an alleged money-laundering scheme, he has not been criminally charged. It is unclear how thoroughly WLF vetted his background. The investment structure could see up to $75 million distributed to entities controlled by Trump and his three sons. The case highlights concerns about anonymity in crypto transactions, allowing figures with opaque backgrounds to invest substantial sums in politically-linked projects.

UK Prepares Rules for Tokenised Gold

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is consulting with market participants, including major banks, on developing a regulatory framework for tokenised gold, according to the Financial Times. The discussions are part of a wider program to digitalise UK wholesale financial markets and maintain London's leadership in gold trading, which faces growing competition from centres in China, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Sources indicate the FCA, which does not regulate physical gold trading but oversees gold derivatives, is also gathering feedback on using tokenised gold as wholesale market collateral. An announcement on proposed regulatory standards could come within months. This follows the FCA's recent extension of the application window for authorising crypto firms to February 2027.

UK regulators to prepare tokenized gold framework: Report

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is reportedly in talks with banks and industry participants to develop a regulatory framework for tokenized gold, including its potential use as collateral in wholesale markets. This initiative aligns with broader UK efforts to expand tokenized financial markets, with a government-backed task force estimating tokenization could add £33 billion annually to the economy by 2035. The plans also target the issuance of the UK's first tokenized government bond by early 2027. London, as the world's largest over-the-counter gold trading hub, accounting for about 70% of global volume, is a key location for this development.

Coinbase Provides UK Users Access to Nearly 4,000 US Stocks in One App

Coinbase is expanding beyond digital assets in the UK by launching trading of US-listed stocks, advancing its "Everything Exchange" strategy. Starting August 6, eligible UK customers will gain gradual access to nearly 4,000 stocks through the same app used for cryptocurrencies and fiat balances. Trading will be available 24/5, extending beyond standard Wall Street hours. Users can buy fractional shares from £1, pay instantly with GBP or USDC, and trade stocks commission-free (other fees may apply). This follows the UK release of crypto-backed savings and lending products, as part of Coinbase's move to become a broader financial platform. The launch was enabled by Coinbase securing UK regulatory approval (MiFID) from the FCA, allowing it to offer regulated services for financial instruments. The company aims to attract more UK retail investors by simplifying access and aligning stock trading hours closer to the 24/7 crypto market, bridging the gap between traditional and digital assets.

UK policy sprint finds cross-border payments are stablecoins’ top use case

According to findings from the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Stablecoin Sprint policy initiative, cross-border payments are identified as the most promising near-term use case for stablecoins. This is particularly true for emerging markets with limited US dollar access. However, in major payment corridors with existing fast and inexpensive systems, stablecoins offer fewer benefits. For domestic UK retail consumers, adoption is expected to be slower as current payment methods are already efficient. Merchants, though, could see advantages from lower costs and faster settlement. These insights helped inform the FCA's recent final rules requiring UK-issued stablecoins to be fully backed by reserves and redeemable at par.

UK Jails Fake Police Crypto Gang as Authorities Tighten Digital Asset Rules

UK authorities have jailed a criminal gang who impersonated police officers to steal over £4 million in cryptocurrency from eight victims. Anthony Ikenwe, Kevin Nwamma, and Hamza Bashir used cold calls and fake police websites to trick victims into handing over account details, then laundered the money through prepaid shopping cards. The fraudsters funded a lavish lifestyle with the stolen funds, purchasing a £60,000 car and storing £500,000 in a Dubai safety deposit box. Their extensive travel to luxury destinations and high-end shopping led to an investigation by the Metropolitan Police Cryptocurrency Team, culminating in raids across London and Essex in November 2025. Ikenwe and Nwamma received minimum 11-year sentences, while Bashir received a lesser term after admitting guilt. This high-profile case is serving as a catalyst for stricter UK digital asset regulations, with authorities pushing for tougher exchange registration rules and enhanced tracing powers to combat the endemic use of crypto in organized crime. The investigation underscored that blockchain technology leaves a traceable digital footprint, aiding law enforcement.

UK’s tokenization roadmap aims to generate $44.15B annually by 2035

The UK government has unveiled a roadmap for tokenized finance, projecting an annual economic output of $44.15 billion from the sector by 2035. A key initiative is the planned issuance of a government bond in Q1 2027. A task force of approximately 54 major firms, including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Coinbase, and Ripple, has been established to develop live use cases. However, some institutions like Barclays and PwC offer a more cautious projection of around $29.45 billion for the same period. In related developments, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky hinted at the potential for tokenizing real-world assets, acknowledging the transformative potential for liquid ownership, faster settlements, and 24/7 global markets. However, he expressed skepticism, emphasizing that widespread trust, not just advanced technology, will determine the success of any tokenization model. The broader tokenization sector is experiencing significant growth. Data from Token Terminal shows the total tokenized asset market cap has reached a new peak of approximately $340 billion, led by stablecoins. The involvement of major governments, financial institutions, and global companies is making ambitious market projections appear increasingly feasible.
