FCA sets regulatory perimeter for overseas crypto platforms from 2027

  • —Overseas crypto platforms serving UK consumers must obtain an FCA license
  • —New regulated activities take effect on October 25, 2027
  • —The application window for the transitional regime opens on September 30, 2026
  • —No automatic carryover of existing registrations is provided
Why it matters: The rules establish extraterritorial reach for the regulator and require overseas exchanges, custodians and staking services to adapt to the FCA regime.
