FCA Policy refers to the regulations, guidelines, and supervisory approaches established by the Financial Conduct Authority, the primary financial regulatory body in the United Kingdom. These policies govern financial firms and markets, including those dealing with digital assets, aiming to protect consumers, maintain market integrity, and promote competition. The FCA’s stance significantly influences how crypto businesses operate and are perceived within the UK jurisdiction.
