The UK Financial Conduct Authority will open the application channel for cryptocurrency firms license in September 2026.

15 hours ago

January 9 — Per Cointelegraph, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced that crypto asset service providers operating in the UK must secure full authorization by October 2027. The FCA expects the application window to open in September 2026. All firms offering regulated crypto services in the UK must be authorized under the Financial Services and Markets Act. Entities currently registered under anti-money laundering (AML) regulations will not be automatically transitioned and must still reapply for authorization. Firms that fail to submit applications on time will face transitional restrictions once the new rules take effect: they will only be permitted to continue offering existing products and prohibited from launching new business activities.
