The new Financial Services and Markets Act enables regulation to safely adopt crypto.

Op-ed
Lately, when it comes to the state of crypto regulation and integration with the traditional financial system, all eyes have been on the US, the EU, and parts of Asia.
In the US, it’s been a turbulent situation with regulatory bodies and some politicians behaving hostile to crypto, while BlackRock, which is filing an ETF application, has opened up the possibility of a more welcoming environment. In the EU, MiCA has been approved, creating the impression of a continent moving quickly towards crypto acceptance and looking to set a global standard. Additionally, Asia, Hong Kong and Singapore are often mentioned as potential crypto hubs, while Japan, too, appears to be taking an open-minded approach.
Another region of particular interest, though, is the UK, which now – post-Brexit – is operating independently of the EU and has an opportunity to maneuver swiftly and on its terms. As in the EU and Asia, the UK appears to be largely accepting of the crypto industry, interested in positioning itself there advantageously. On top of that, there have been several recent developments that indicate the direction to come.
The Financial Services and Markets Act
It was announced on Thursday that the Financial Services and Markets Bill had passed Royal Assent. This is the final stage in which it will now be legal as a new Act. This is significant because it includes cryptocurrencies and stablecoins within its remit, and thus, crypto is now treated as a regulated financial activity.
This doesn’t tell us exactly how regulators will treat crypto currently, but it does mean that crypto is regarded as a significant sector and that the path is clear to officially get to grips with the industry as has been taking place in the EU. And, for a suggestion of the attitude of those in charge, we can look to this week’s UK government press release, which states:
“The Act is central to the Government’s vision to grow the economy and create an open, sustainable, and technologically advanced financial services sector.”
And it also specifically describes how the Act
“establishes ‘sandboxes’ that can facilitate the use of new technologies such as blockchain in financial markets.”
As a further indicator of where the UK might be heading, we have the words of the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Andrew Griffith. He has listed what can be expected from the new law and summarized how the Act would enable regulation to support the safe adoption of crypto assets.
11. Promotes the use of new technology in financial services, enabling the regulation of cryptoassets to support safe adoption, and establishing ‘sandboxes’ that can facilitate the use of new technologies such as blockchain in financial markets.
Earlier this month, in an online event titled 'Demystifying the Digital Pound', the Head of Future Technology at the Bank of England, William Lovell, made several statements around a proposed retail CBDC in the UK, explaining a model by which the BoE can operate an underlying ledger. At the same time, new mechanisms called Payment Infrastructure Service Providers (PISPs), which may come to be operated by both banks and technology companies, “provide people with wallets that allow them to access their CBDC and other features.”
Lovell also suggested controls on CBDC holdings, with limits dependent on income, to mitigate against the possibility of bank runs. However, it’s worth remembering that these kinds of proposals run directly counter to the core aims around which Bitcoin was developed, with its creator (or creators) focused on decentralized networks, direct control of one’s assets, and the creation of a fixed supply currency that is decoupled from central banks.
Currently, Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies, and CBDCs are often spoken of together under the broad umbrella of blockchain technology, but the reality is that they are not all aligned and that Bitcoin was designed as an alternative to fiat systems, whether digital or physical.
Andreesen Horowitz to Move to London
We’ve likewise seen real signs of a shift towards the UK as a place to do crypto business, with the VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, also known as a16z (heavily focused on Web3 development), earlier this month announcing that it would be opening its first business premises outside of the United States in London.
Chris Dixon, a General Partner at a16z, spoke at the time of having had a “productive dialogue” with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. He also had “constructive conversations” with the Treasury, policymakers, and the Financial Conduct Authority, stating, with reference to crypto, that:
“The UK is ahead of the curve and instituting policies that will eventually become a global standard.”
And, talking about the a16z move, Prime Minister Sunak enthused that:
“We must embrace new innovations like Web3, powered by blockchain technology, which will enable start-ups to flourish here and grow the economy.”
While overall VC investment in crypto has declined this year, charts indicate a correlation with the price of Bitcoin, and it wouldn't be unexpected if improved crypto market sentiment led to a revival of inflow to VC capital.
Presently, Binance is battling securities-related legal action from the SEC in the US, while facing an investigation from the authorities in France. Regarding the UK situation, the exchange has explained that the permissions withdrawn from the UK were unused. Yet, the FCA has said that Binance “can no longer provide regulated activity and products in the UK.”
Returning to the broader crypto landscape in the UK, there is uncertainty about how exactly the details might pan out. Also, there is a growing sense of willingness to recognize and integrate an expanding sector, which has proven extremely resilient.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
