- Jun 23, 2020

One week left until the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) June 30 deadline for existing businesses with cryptoasset activity in the UK to register and apply for priority review of their business. Failing to apply by this date may result in processing delays. Any companies not registered with the FCA will have to cease trading on January 10, 2021.

As a reminder, on 10 January 2020, the FCA became the anti-money laundering and countering terrorist financing supervisor for some types of cryptoasset businesses. For more information and to find out how to register, visit:
