Great Britain introduced complex rules for the crypto industry

The new regulatory regime covers trading, storage of crypto assets, and staking. Companies are required to comply with:

  •  capital and transparency,
  •  protection of consumer rights,
  •  operational sustainability.

 Stablecoins will be classified as securities, not as electronic money.

  •  Tokens issued in the UK must meet strict requirements
  •  Foreign stablecoins – only through regulated platforms

 To operate in the country, companies will need a license from the FCA (British financial regulator)

  Bitget:

"Now it is clear what types of activities need to be licensed"

"But the exemption from the EMR could slow down the use of stablecoins in payments"

 Lawyers: The UK has opted for a tough approach to both securities, as opposed to the more lenient MiCA regime in the EU.
