On April 16, The Block reported that the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released a new consultation document regarding the regulation of crypto assets, seeking opinions on the scope of specific regulated digital asset activities under its regulatory roadmap. This consultation focuses on activities including the issuance of stablecoins, trading platforms, custody, and staking. The consultation targets individuals, businesses, industry groups, policymakers, and academics. The deadline for submissions is June 3, 2026, and crypto firms can begin applying for FCA authorization as early as September 30, 2026. This consultation represents the latest development in the UK's crypto regulatory roadmap, following the implementation of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Crypto Assets) Regulations 2026 in February this year, which brought new types of crypto asset activities under FCA regulation. The FCA stated that substantive rule consultations for the future crypto regulatory framework are largely complete, with related policy statements expected to be released this summer and a final policy statement anticipated in the fall. The FCA also emphasized that 'before the new regulatory framework officially comes into effect, cryptocurrencies remain largely in a regulatory void, only subject to financial promotion and financial crime-related regulations.' Additionally, the FCA indicated that it will launch a new round of consultations later this year regarding DeFi, the resilience of distributed ledger technology businesses, and updates to financial crime guidelines.
