The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has unveiled a comprehensive 700-page consultation document outlining proposed regulations for the cryptocurrency sector, specifically targeting exchanges, staking, and lending services. The initiative aims to integrate these services into the financial regulatory framework by 2027. The consultation period is open until February 12, 2026, allowing stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposed rules, which include specific guidelines for staking and exchanges. Perry Scott from Kraken praised the proposals as "world leading." The FCA emphasizes that these regulations are designed to protect consumers while fostering innovation within the crypto industry.
