The UK Financial Conduct Authority has opened a five-month application gateway, setting a February 28, 2027 deadline for crypto firms ahead of a new regime taking effect on October 25, 2027. The framework requires full authorization for activities including stablecoin issuance, trading platforms, and asset safeguarding. Existing anti-money laundering registrations will not automatically carry over, and missing the deadline may risk transitional protections.
