The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated a comprehensive public consultation on proposed new regulations for the cryptocurrency industry. The proposed rules aim to address crypto asset listing frameworks, insider trading and market manipulation prevention, operational standards for crypto trading platforms, and broker-related regulations. The FCA is seeking feedback until February 12, 2026, and plans to finalize the complete regulatory framework by the end of 2026. Additionally, the FCA revealed that the percentage of UK adults holding crypto assets has decreased from 12% to 8% over the past year.
