Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom is asking for the public’s opinion on its proposed strategies for enhancing the transparency of the nation’s crypto markets.

This request for feedback comes after the release of a discussion paper aimed at shaping the FCA’s regulations for admitting and disclosing crypto assets, as well as addressing market abuse in the crypto industry.

The FCA emphasizes the need for collaboration with various stakeholders in order to implement a fair and balanced regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.

Comments on the proposed plans will be accepted until March 14, 2025. The goal of these regulations is to safeguard consumers, promote the integrity of the UK’s crypto markets, and boost the country’s competitiveness.

The FCA’s discussion paper is a result of previous consultations and roundtables conducted by the regulator in collaboration with the government. It also highlights the lack of regulation in the UK’s crypto industry, leaving consumers vulnerable in case of any issues.
