UK Sets Date for Digital Asset Regulation Launch

🇬🇧 UK Sets Date for Digital Asset Regulation Launch

The UK government has announced that full regulation of virtual currencies and digital asset platforms will come into force in October 2027. This move will be a turning point for the entire digital finance industry, as it will establish clear rules for businesses, users, and investors.

After years of consultations and draft proposals, the Ministry of Finance has confirmed the official date for launching a new regulatory framework overseeing service providers in the digital asset sector.

📌 What does the new model include?

Mandatory registration of companies working with virtual currencies is expected, along with strict requirements for transparency, investor protection, token operations, and asset custody.

Notably, the UK is building its own regulatory structure, rather than simply copying EU rules. This approach aims to create a more attractive market for companies seeking a balance between innovation and legal clarity.

Companies planning to enter the UK market or already working with UK-based clients should begin preparations now.
