Binance plans to apply for an FCA license under the UK’s new digital asset framework starting September 30, 2026, aiming to re-enter the UK market. The new regime requires firms to build a local presence, meet governance and compliance standards, and takes effect on October 25, 2027.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your access to the UK crypto market just opened with a clear regulatory path and deadline. You must build a UK entity and governance now to get ahead of Binance and others eyeing FCA approval.
