Overview

UK authorities are intensifying enforcement against unregistered peer-to-peer crypto businesses. Reports of raids at three additional London sites, alongside warnings from the FCA and forthcoming regulatory guidance, point to a shift away from the country’s previous light-touch approach.

Why now
  • The FCA reportedly targeted three additional London sites.
  • The action coincides with guidance ahead of a broader framework expected in late 2027.
Why it matters
  • Unregistered peer-to-peer crypto businesses face increased enforcement attention.
  • The reports point to a stricter UK compliance environment for crypto activity.
