> The UK Financial Conduct Authority opened applications for its new crypto regime on Sept. 30. Eligible existing firms must apply by Feb. 28, 2027, to potentially keep serving customers and taking new business while a pending application is assessed when the regime starts on Oct. 25, 2027. Late applicants may be limited to existing contracts and barred from new ones.
