Cryptoassets Firmly Within The UK Regulatory Framework

This week in UK Parliament, legislation was laid to bring cryptoassets firmly within the UK Financial Services regulatory framework. This marks a decisive shift. Crypto is moving out of regulatory ambiguity and into the FCA perimeter — with the full governance, conduct and accountability expectations that come with it.

For firms operating in digital assets, this is not theoretical. Regulation will require established compliance and in-house legal capability. FCA engagement, financial crime controls, conduct frameworks and regulatory reporting will need to be built, embedded and defended.

With over 20 years specialising in regulated Financial Services, the Danos Group brings deep understanding of FCA expectations and how governance functions scale under regulatory pressure. We work with proven talent pools of compliance and legal professionals already operating under FCA regulation, supporting firms as they move into regulated status.

That experience will be critical as firms:

🔹Prepare for authorisation and ongoing supervision
🔹Translate new legislation into workable operating models
🔹Withstand regulatory scrutiny without slowing growth
