UK plans tighter oversight as crypto markets move toward full regulation
The UK Treasury is preparing a new regulatory framework to bring cryptocurrency markets within the formal financial regulatory perimeter by 2027. Under the proposed rules, crypto companies would be required to meet standards overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority, similar to those applied to traditional financial products. The government aims to improve transparency, strengthen consumer protection, and enhance the ability to detect suspicious activity, impose sanctions, and hold firms accountable as digital assets gain wider adoption.
