UK Crypto Regulation Update – FCA Lifts Ban on Crypto ETNs for Retail Investors

The post UK Crypto Regulation Update – FCA Lifts Ban on Crypto ETNs for Retail Investors appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

A major change is coming to crypto investing in the UK. Starting this October, regular investors will be allowed to buy crypto exchange-traded notes (cETNs) again. This decision marks a big shift by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which had banned these products for the past four years.

So what’s changing, and what risks should investors keep in mind?

FCA Lifts 4-year Ban—With Rules

Starting from 8 October 2025, UK retail investors will be allowed to invest in cETNs. However, they will only be available on investment platforms approved by the FCA, called Recognised Investment Exchanges (RIEs). 

This move is part of the FCA’s wider plan to update crypto regulations while keeping investor protection in place.

To protect investors, these products will be regulated under strict financial promotion rules. That means companies must give clear, honest, and easy-to-understand information to customers, without making risky products sound exciting or safe.

Why the FCA Changed Its Mind

The FCA banned cETNs for retail investors in January 2021, saying they were too risky and hard to understand. But now, things have changed. David Geale, who leads the FCA’s work on digital finance, said the crypto market has grown and is now better understood. 

Because of this, the FCA wants to offer more investment choices, but still with strong protections.

There Are Still Risks— No Insurance

Even with the new rules, investors need to be careful. If a crypto platform fails or a product crashes, retail investors won’t get any help from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This means there’s no safety net. You could lose all your money.

To add more protection, the UK’s new Consumer Duty rule will apply. This means companies must act in the best interest of their customers and treat them fairly.

Bigger Crypto Framework Is Taking Shape

This decision is just one part of the FCA’s larger effort to build a clear rulebook for crypto. The agency is also planning new rules for stablecoins and other high-risk investments.

In short, while the door is reopening for crypto ETNs, the FCA is making sure it comes with strong warnings and no false promises.
