UK Opens Doors for Retail Crypto Investment Following Ban Lifting

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has lifted its four-year ban on retail access to crypto exchange-traded notes, allowing UK investors to participate in cryptocurrency markets through regulated products. This marks a significant shift in the UK’s approach to crypto investment, aligning with similar regulatory climates seen in the US and Canada. The change grants access to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs from major issuers on the London Stock Exchange, empowering investors to engage with these digital currencies in a more structured environment.
