The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of the UK has released a regulatory roadmap for cryptocurrencies, planning to officially implement a comprehensive regulatory framework by 2026. The roadmap indicates that the FCA will publish a discussion paper related to market abuse and information disclosure by the end of this year, and plans to release policy documents in early 2024 regarding stablecoins, trading platforms, staking, exposure to crypto assets, and lending. Data shows that the number of cryptocurrency holders in the UK has increased by 4% over the past two years, with approximately 7 million adults currently holding crypto assets. Previously, UK Economic Secretary Tulip Sidiq stated that a regulatory draft concerning cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and staking will be introduced early next year. (CoinDesk)
