TechFlow News, April 16: According to The Block, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released a new consultation paper seeking public feedback on how to regulate digital asset activities—including stablecoin issuance, trading platforms, custody, and staking. The consultation period ends on June 3, 2026. Crypto firms may begin applying for FCA authorization as early as September 30, 2026, and the new regulatory regime is expected to take full effect in 2027. The FCA stated that, prior to the new regime’s implementation, crypto assets are largely unregulated—except for financial promotions and anti-financial crime oversight. Industry insiders note that the UK’s progress on crypto regulation clearly lags behind Europe, which has already established a comprehensive enforcement framework; however, some practitioners view the FCA’s systematic, phased approach positively.
