UK to Lift Ban on Cryptocurrency Exchange-Traded Notes for Retail Investors

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is set to lift its ban on cryptocurrency exchange-traded notes (ETNs) for retail investors, which was imposed in January 2021 due to concerns over volatility and complexity.

Key points:

  • Crypto ownership in the UK increased from 18% in 2024 to 24% in 2025.
  • The US is advancing the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act to regulate stablecoins, focusing on transparency and consumer protection.
  • A friendlier regulatory environment is expected to enhance the crypto market.
  • Bitcoin recently reached an all-time high of $112K, with predictions of a potential rise to $150K.
