UK Regulatory Scope

Definition

UK Regulatory Scope defines the boundaries of laws and rules that govern financial activities and digital assets within the United Kingdom. This scope includes the authority of bodies like the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Bank of England to oversee cryptocurrency exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and other blockchain-related businesses operating in the UK. It specifies requirements for licensing, consumer protection, anti-money laundering (AML), and market integrity. Understanding this framework is crucial for any digital asset entity seeking to operate legally within the British market.
