The UK has unveiled a new compliance framework for cryptoassets, led by the Treasury and FCA, with a 2026 rollout target. The plan classifies digital assets as personal property and imposes prudential and conduct rules on service providers. It expands oversight to include Countering the Financing of Terrorism, financial regulation, and market abuse. Exchanges, custodians, and issuers must seek FCA authorization, raising compliance costs. A new Act strengthens legal protections for victims of digital theft, aligning the UK with EU financial standards.
