Could you please clarify the current situation regarding the UK's stance on cryptocurrency? Is there any official ban on crypto in the United Kingdom? If so, what are the specific details and reasons behind this decision? Alternatively, if not, what is the regulatory framework surrounding crypto in the UK, and how does it affect users and investors? Thank you for your assistance in clearing up this matter.

As a regulatory body, the FCA is committed to protecting consumers from harmful financial products. Therefore, it continues to remind the public that cryptoassets carry high risks and remain largely unregulated.

Given the ongoing regulatory uncertainties surrounding cryptocurrencies, the FCA believes it is prudent to maintain the ban on selling cETNs (and crypto derivatives) to retail investors. This measure aims to safeguard investors from potential losses.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) maintains its stance that crypto exchange-traded notes (cETNs) and crypto derivatives are not suitable for retail investors. This assessment is based on the inherent risks these instruments pose to individual consumers.

The FCA's concerns stem from the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies and the complexities associated with derivative products. Retail investors, often lacking the necessary knowledge and expertise, are more vulnerable to losses in such markets.
