The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is seeking feedback on its Discussion Paper DP24/4 to shape the proposed "Cryptoasset Admissions and Disclosures and Market Abuse Regime." The report was issued in London on December 16.

In November 2024, the UK government confirmed plans to legislate a comprehensive financial services regime for cryptoassets. This move aims to expand the FCA's remit beyond anti-money laundering to include trading, custody, and market abuse regulations, according to the FCA’s Discussion Paper DP24/4​.

The FCA’s Discussion Paper outlines plans for an Admissions and Disclosures (A&D) regime and a Market Abuse Regime for Cryptoassets (MARC). These measures are intended to ensure consumer protection, market integrity, and fair competition in the UK crypto sector. The FCA is asking stakeholders, including crypto firms, investors, and industry bodies, to provide feedback by March 14, 2025, to help shape final policy proposals.

As of August 2024, research conducted by the FCA indicates that 12% of UK adults own cryptoassets. This reflects a growing interest in digital assets among consumers.

According to the BBC, in February 2023, the UK government announced plans to legislate for a future financial services regime for cryptoassets. The aim is to regulate a broad suite of cryptoasset activities consistent with its approach to traditional finance.

The Financial Conduct Authority regulates the financial services industry in the UK. It ensures fair and honest markets for individuals, businesses, and the broader economy. Established in 2013 as an independent public body accountable to the UK Treasury and Parliament, it oversees approximately 50,000 businesses. The FCA sets standards to protect consumers, maintain market stability, and promote competition. It is funded through fees charged to regulated firms and uses its investigative, regulatory, and enforcement powers to fulfill its mandate. According to Investopedia, its statutory objectives include protecting consumers, enhancing the integrity of financial markets, and fostering healthy competition​.
