The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published fresh guidance explaining how the gateway for the country’s upcoming crypto-asset regulatory regime will operate, setting out what firms must do to continue serving U.K. customers once the rules take effect.
An official application window will open ahead of the regime’s launch. The FCA expects this period to begin in September 2026 and last at least 28 days. Applications submitted during this window are expected to be decided before the regime starts. The FCA said further details will be confirmed through formal directions published on its website.
