Global Digital Finance (GDF), in partnership with the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI), submitted a joint response to the FCA’s consultation paper CP26/4 on the application of the FCA Handbook to regulated cryptoasset activities (Part 2). The response reflects input from a broad cross-section of the digital asset ecosystem, including exchanges, stablecoin issuers, financial market infrastructure providers, and technology innovators.
The submission supports the development of a comprehensive and proportionate UK regulatory framework for cryptoassets that promotes responsible innovation while maintaining strong consumer protection and market integrity. It highlights key areas where further clarity and calibration may be beneficial to ensure the regime remains internationally competitive and capable of supporting the UK’s ambition to become a global hub for digital finance.
