The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK has outlined a new prudential framework for cryptoasset firms in consultation paper CP25/42, published on 16 December 2025. This regime aims to ensure firms maintain adequate capital and liquidity to protect consumers and maintain market integrity. It builds on earlier proposals and covers activities such as trading platforms and staking.

Blockchain.com has received approval from UK regulators to operate as a registered crypto asset business.
