🇬🇧 UK Regulator to Allow Retail Investors Access to Crypto ETNs in October
In a landmark shift, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will permit retail investors to trade crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) starting October 8, 2025.
🔹 The products will only be available on FCA-recognized UK exchanges, like the London Stock Exchange.
🔹 This reverses the 2021 ban and reflects a maturing regulatory outlook.
🔹 While protections like clear risk disclosures will be in place, crypto investments won't be covered by the FSCS.
📊 Impact: This opens the doors for wider crypto market access, institutional-grade exposure, and a new wave of investor interest.
