Odaily Planet Daily News The UK financial regulator FCA plans to implement a cryptocurrency regime by 2026 to address the growing ownership of cryptocurrencies in the country. The roadmap published by the FCA indicates that the agency plans to release a discussion paper on market abuse and disclosures by the end of this year and intends to publish documents on stablecoins, trading platforms, staking, prudent cryptocurrency risk exposure, and lending before the beginning of next year. The regime is set to take effect after the final policy statement is released in 2026. A study commissioned by the FCA shows that the holding of crypto assets in the country has increased by 4% over the past two years, with approximately 7 million adults owning crypto assets out of the country's roughly 68 million population.
