Golden Finance reports that according to the new regulations set to take effect on October 8 by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), retail investors in the UK will soon be able to purchase cryptocurrency exchange-traded notes (cETN). cETNs must be listed on UK trading platforms approved by the FCA and comply with financial promotion and consumer responsibility rules. While retail users are allowed to use cETNs, they will not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The UK Financial Conduct Authority previously banned retail investors from accessing crypto ETNs in 2021, citing concerns about investor protection.
