Fusion42 · 1 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

The FCA has launched a new regulatory regime for crypto firms in the UK, requiring them to apply for authorisation by 28 February 2027 to continue operating legally. The regime sets clear standards on consumer protection, safeguarding, market integrity, and financial resilience, with the new rules coming into force on 25 October 2027.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 14 sources have reported it between 3 Sep 2026 and 3 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The FCA is restarting the clock on crypto authorisation, ending easy access for the UK market. You need to prepare your firm's compliance rigor and apply before the deadline or lose permission to operate.
