The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has taken enforcement action against crypto exchange HTX (formerly Huobi) for illegal financial promotions and providing services to Russia-linked firms, banning it from operating in the UK as stricter crypto regulations come into force.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a clear UK market barrier as FCA enforcement against HTX signals zero tolerance for illegal crypto marketing and Russia ties. Now is the time to review your UK compliance and marketing channels before the new 2026 crypto rules cut off unregulated activity.
