FCA Explores Easing 2019 Prediction Market Ban

The FCA's exploratory talks, despite its published stance, hint at a possible thaw in a regulatory posture that has kept crypto prediction platforms out of the UK. This matters because it signals a willingness to revisit dated rules, potentially aligning the country with more permissive jurisdictions. The open question is whether these discussions translate into concrete rule changes or remain preliminary. Watch for any formal consultation or revision to the 2019 policy, which would be the clearest indicator of real momentum.
