Embrace the digital coin revolution with us as we dive into the latest happenings in the crypto sphere, covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, and beyond!
Witness the transformation taking place in Great Britain's crypto landscape as the government plans to crackdown on risky investments.
As per a recent Reuters report, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is mulling over restricting credit card usage for cryptocurrency purchases.
"We are considering a range of restrictions, including restricting the use of credit cards to directly buy cryptoassets, and using a credit line provided by an e-money firm to do so."
The FCA, however, will continue to allow consumers to purchase stablecoins via credit card. But remember, crypto investors should be prepared to lose their entire investment when betting on digital assets.
Interestingly, earlier this year, the FCA banned crypto ads, successfully cutting them down by half. The FCA is collaborating with tech companies to regulate the banned advertisements, but they remain concerned about the prevalence of frauds and scams online.
"Many social media sites have now banned paid-for adverts for UK financial services from non-FCA authorized firms, and we continue to [take] action against those we find breaching our rules."
In February, the FCA sought feedback on cryptocurrency regulation, with David Geale, executive director of payments and digital finance at the FCA, stating:
"Crypto is a growing industry. Currently largely unregulated, we want to create a crypto regime that gives firms the clarity they need to safely innovate, while delivering appropriate levels of market integrity and consumer protection.
Our aim is to drive sustainable, long-term growth of crypto in the UK. We're asking whether we have got the balance right."
