The post UK FCA’s New Crypto Plan: Why 90% of Crypto Firms Failed to Meet Standards appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
In response to continued market abuse and a lack of transparency in the UK’s crypto markets, the FCA has issued a discussion paper. The decision is a part of changes in the regulation that FCA is gradually making to create clearer and more coherent rules for firms and consumers thus driving the integrity of markets and protecting investors.
A Step Toward Cleaner and Safer Crypto-Markets
The discussion paper published on December 16, 2024, is aimed at presenting the proposals concerning the methods for admissions and disclosures together with the market abuse regime innovations in the sphere of crypto-assets.
In this respect, the FCA has recently put in place stringent measures to check on and rein in fraudulent behaviours, promote fairness and assist consumers in making appropriate financial decisions. Therefore, the paper’s approach supports enhanced internal control over authorized trading in cryptocurrencies and information sharing to prevent market abuse.
“The proposed rules for admissions and disclosures and market abuse regimes are essential in enhancing the cleanliness of the Crypto Markets and contributing to the best efforts of consumers to make sound financial decisions,”
The FCA concluded.

For the past few years, the crypto sector has raised different dangers that are still valid up to the present time. However, measures to toughen the rules in this area were made again, the FCA stressed that such assets remain extremely dangerous. “The worst is that you won’t be shielded in case of something going wrong or you would be ready to lose all your funds,” the FCA warned.
The call for feedback comes as the FCA steps up its attempts to rid the sector of rogue operators. In the first quarter of the year, it shared that out of the applications made by the firms, only 10% were approved because of poor AML standards. Besides, more than 450 signs warning against unauthorized crypto promotions were released.
Creating a Secure Crypto Future
This preemptive action now leans to the UK’s effort in the development of a responsible environment for cryptocurrencies and crypto-assets within the country alongside the protection of investors. The FCA endeavours to weave the matrix between innovation, which plays a crucial role in enabling the growth of a Crypto asset, and security in defaulting structure; in the process laying a frame for enabling a cleaner Crypto ecosystem.
