City regulator will require booming industry to prove its resilience to risk from October next year
- The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is introducing comprehensive regulations for crypto firms, requiring them to prove resilience to market shocks and hold capital against risky assets.
- These new rules, effective from October next year, aim to increase supervision, apply similar principles to traditional financial services, and enhance consumer protection by curbing bad behavior.
- While the regulations provide clarity and a foundation for the industry, consumers are still cautioned about the inherent risks of losing all their investment in crypto.
