The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is seeking feedback on proposed cryptocurrency rules under a new regulatory framework.
The watchdog is consulting on areas including crypto token listing rules, trading standards, market abuse, requirements for brokers and other intermediaries, lending and borrowing, decentralized finance (DeFi) and staking, according to an announcement on Tuesday.
The proposals outline a “similar approach” to regulating crypto as traditional finance (TradFi), echoing the UK Finance Ministry’s announcement on Monday that it plans to extend financial services rules to crypto.
The Treasury said it plans to create a regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency sector by 2027.
Responses to the FCA consultation are open until February 12, 2026.
The Bank of England (BOE) has also proposed rules for the supervision of stablecoins, which are also open for consultation until February 2026.
