#CryptoNews ✅The UK announced draft crypto regulations on April 29, 2025, to align with US policies, extending existing financial rules to crypto exchanges and firms by year-end. Aimed at protecting consumers (12% of UK adults own crypto), the laws focus on operational resilience and fraud prevention. Stablecoin issuers will be regulated, but not under payment services rules. Staking was clarified as exempt from collective investment schemes in January 2025. The FCA plans to roll out conduct and market rules by 2026, while the UK collaborates with the US on digital asset policies. Industry welcomes the clarity but warns of risks in perceived investor safety.
