The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced plans to lift the ban on retail investors buying exchange-traded notes (ETNs) tied to cryptocurrencies—a class previously limited to professionals. While acknowledging the high-risk nature of these investments, the FCA aims to strike a balance between expanded access and investor protection. This marks a major pivot in the UK’s stance, tied to broader legislative moves from April to integrate crypto more fully into the regulated financial framework. $BTC #FCA #ETN
