Establishing a regulatory framework for cryptoassets in the UK

The UK is renowned for its high-quality, progressive regulation of finance. With cryptoassets gaining more attention, they bring innovative opportunities and risks for market participants, leading the UK Financial Conduct Authority to consider which activities fall under its jurisdiction and require registration or compliance with existing guidelines.

Matthew Long, director of payments and digital assets at the FCA, joins OMFIF to explore the UK’s regulatory requirements and implementation strategies for cryptoassets. We will discuss the implications of a new framework, what industry stakeholders need to do to restore investor confidence and rebuild trust and efforts to ensure fair and transparent market integrity for consumer protection.

This round table is in-person only and will take place in London.
