#DigitalAssetBill 🇬🇧REGULATION ON THE WAY! 🇬🇧 The UK FCA opens a debate on crypto, staking, loans, and more 🔍🪙

Attention, crypto enthusiasts of the world! 🌍💥 The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of the United Kingdom is putting the magnifying glass 🔍 on the crypto ecosystem and wants to hear YOUR opinion. Yes, you read that right: they want to know what you think about staking, loans, intermediaries, and DeFi! 📢👥

The move comes after the bill presented by the British Treasury 🇬🇧 that seeks to include certain crypto activities under the regulatory wing of the FCA. What’s the goal? To create a regime that protects the consumer 🛡️, maintains market integrity 📊, and still leaves room for innovation to continue flowing like a well-coded smart contract 🧠⚙️

The discussion paper — published this Friday — raises juicy topics such as:

• Should companies accept credit cards for buying crypto? 💳➡️₿

• How do you regulate staking and loans without killing decentralization? ⚖️🔁

• What to do with intermediaries that are neither fish nor fowl? 🤔🧑‍⚖️

David Geale, the head of payments and digital finance at the FCA, made it clear:

"We want to provide clarity to businesses so they can innovate safely while protecting the consumer".

But... not everything is honey on layer 2. 🍯🧱

The industry has not been very happy with the FCA. Since 2020, only 51 out of 368 registration applications have been accepted. A KYC stricter than that of a Swiss bank! 🧾❌🇨🇭

And pay attention: the new authorization regime for crypto offerings is expected for 2026. Yes, there’s still time, but the clock is already ticking… ⏳

The deadline to submit your comments is June 13. And yes, you can also have your say! ✍️📬
