The FCA has finalised its crypto and stablecoin regulatory regime, requiring UK firms offering these products to seek variation of permissions or full authorisation by February 2027 to maintain business continuity. Stablecoin offerings and custody of tokenised securities are focal points with new regulatory obligations, while firms must develop a clear digital asset strategy and prepare for ongoing regulatory changes.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must act now to secure FCA permissions before February 2027 or risk losing market access. Firms offering stablecoins or token custody have a new compliance threshold that shapes your product roadmap and partner choices.
