UK Unveils Final Crypto Rulebook With FCA Licensing Set for 2027
Share:
The FCA published a final UK crypto rulebook effective October 25, 2027, imposing mandatory licensing across exchanges, custodians, stablecoin issuers, staking providers and lending platforms and completing its multi‑year roadmap in line with the EU's MiCA. AML registrations will not convert automatically so firms must reapply, and the FCA reduced the stablecoin capital requirement from 2% to 1%, creating near‑term compliance costs but more regulatory certainty likely to support crypto adoption, CEXs, DEXs, token launches and fundraising.
