UK Lifts Ban on Crypto ETNs for Retail Investors, Aligning with Global Trends

The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has lifted its ban on crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) for retail investors. This move aligns the UK with international markets and follows a global trend toward expanding access to crypto investments. Despite anticipation of limited retail demand, the FCA’s decision reflects an increased focus on fostering innovation in the UK’s crypto market. The lifting marks a significant step in encouraging participation from retail investors, while also mirroring actions taken by peers like the US and EU.
