UK Treasury in a Rush to Bring Crypto Regulations by 2027

2025/12/15 15:40

The UK Treasury has started major work on crypto regulations and plans to bring them in by 2027. Digital assets will be regulated similarly to other financial products, and crypto firms will have to follow rules set by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Crypto Regulations Essential for Consumer Protection

Ministers in the UK government are looking to overhaul the cryptocurrency market, amid the rapid growth and popularity of digital assets as investment vehicles, as well as a means of payment.

As reported by The Guardian, cryptocurrencies have operated under lighter regulatory oversight, unlike stocks and shares. This has raised some valid concerns regarding consumer protection.

Officials said the proposed crypto regulations will focus on increasing transparency across the crypto industry. Besides, they will improve consumer confidence and the ability of regulators like FCA to detect suspicious activity, enforce sanctions, and hold companies accountable. Speaking on the development, Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, said:

Data from the UK banking industry in October showed that losses from investment scams rose 55% year-on-year. It shows that fraudulent crypto schemes led to the largest share of these losses.

Amid rising concerns about transparency and traceability, ministers are also preparing plans to ban political crypto donations. The authorities cited difficulties in verifying the source and ownership of such funds.

Catching Up With Global Regulations

Top economies across the globe, led by the United States, are working to strengthen their crypto regulations. The Trump administration has already set up a crypto task force in this regard. The UK seems to be working on similar lines to bring its own set of rules for better clarity and functioning of the crypto industry.

At the start of December 2025, the Royal Assent had already recognized digital assets as personal property, and the Treasury seems to take it further from here.

Earlier this month, UK’s FCA also said that supporting and testing safe stablecoin payment systems will be a priority in 2026. As part of its broader pro-growth agenda, the regulator plans to open its sandbox to crypto firms seeking to develop and launch stablecoin products.

‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure

The post ‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A “combo” ETF  Crypto ETF trailblazer  Digital Currency Group founder Barry Silbert has reacted to the approval of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund  (GDLC), the very first multi-crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF), describing it as “groundbreaking.”  “Grayscale continues to be the first mover, driving new product innovations that bridge tradfi and digital assets,” Silbert said while commenting on the news.  Peter Mintzberg, chief executive officer at Graysacle, claims that the team behind the world’s leading cryptocurrency asset manager is working “expeditiously” in order to bring the product to the market.  A “combo” ETF  The ETF in question offers exposure to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), as well as several other major altcoins, including the Ripple-linked XRP token, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). XRP, for instance, has a 5.2% share of the fund, making it the third-largest constituent.  The fund initially debuted as a private placement for accredited investors back in early 2018, and its shares later became available on over-the-counter (OTC) markets.  In early July, the SEC approved the conversion of GDLC into an ETF, but it was then abruptly halted for a “review” shortly after this.  As of Sept. 17, the fund currently has a total of $915.6 million in assets.  Crypto ETF trailblazer  It is worth noting that Grayscale is usually credited with kickstarting the cryptocurrency ETF craze by winning its court case against the SEC.  The SEC ended up approving Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 and then followed up with Ethereum ETFs.  Grayscale’s flagship GBTC currently boasts more than $20.5 billion in net assets, according to data provided by SoSoValue.  Source: https://u.today/groundbreaking-barry-silbert-reacts-to-approval-of-etf-with-xrp-exposure
