TREE NEWS update: The UK Financial Conduct Authority has opened its crypto authorization window, allowing existing firms that apply by Feb. 28, 2027 to keep taking on new business while their applications are still pending when the new regime starts on Oct. 25. The FCA’s regime is set to take effect on Oct. 25, 2027.
UK FCA Opens Crypto Authorization Window Ahead of 2027 Regime
AI take
The FCA's decision to let firms keep onboarding clients while applications are pending is the notable part: it softens the transition risk that usually forces crypto businesses to pause growth or relocate ahead of a new licensing regime. That matters most for UK-focused exchanges, custodians and brokers weighing whether to stay regulated domestically or serve the market from offshore. The open question is how many firms actually file within the window, and whether the FCA's approval capacity keeps pace — a backlog would blunt the benefit of the grace period.
