The regulation of cryptoassets under UK financial services law is a complex and evolving landscape. As cryptoassets gain traction across industries, understanding the legal and regulatory frameworks governing them is critical for businesses looking to take advantage of the opportunities in this sector.

At Lewis Silkin, we have deep expertise in advising clients on the regulatory classification of cryptoassets (including cryptocurrencies), including whether they fall within the scope of the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) regulatory rules. Our team supports clients in navigating the regulatory requirements for cryptoasset offerings, exchanges, and custodial services, helping them to understand anti-money laundering (AML) obligations, marketing restrictions and registration requirements with the FCA.
