The UK is tightening crypto regulation. The Financial Conduct Authority has outlined how firms must apply to operate under the country’s upcoming crypto regime, with no automatic approvals for existing platforms. 

At the same time, Ripple has received FCA approval to expand its crypto payments business in the UK. 

Together, the moves show where UK crypto regulation is heading – stricter oversight, clearer rules and fewer shortcuts for exchanges, wallets and payment providers serving British users.
