Good day, I'm a bit new to the crypto world and I've been hearing a lot about it lately. I'm considering investing in some cryptocurrencies, but I'm a bit concerned about the safety aspect. So, my question is, is crypto safe in the UK? I understand that it's a decentralized system and that transactions are encrypted, but are there any specific laws or regulations in the UK that protect investors? Also, are there any known cases of crypto being hacked or stolen in the UK? I'd appreciate it if you could provide me with some insights and maybe some tips on how to stay safe when dealing with cryptocurrencies. Thank you very much!

While the FCA has jurisdiction over the regulatory framework surrounding cryptoasset firms, cryptoassets themselves are generally not subject to direct regulation.
