The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced a limited-time authorization window for crypto businesses operating in the UK. The window allows companies to apply for FCA authorization ahead of the new 2027 UK regime. The deadline to submit applications is set for February 28, 2027. Existing money laundering registrations will not be automatically converted into FCA authorization. Businesses must meet the new regulatory requirements to operate legally in the UK after 2027. This move aims to ensure a smoother transition for crypto firms into the new regulatory environment.
