<p>While some Asian crypto platforms are struggling to comply with the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regarding new marketing-related rules that took effect on October 8, Singapore’s Crypto.com has <a href="https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2023/10/214150-crypto-com-is-reportedly-compliant-with-the-uk-fcas-updated-rules-for-digital-assets/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">confirmed</a> its successful compliance. The firm is registered as FORIS DAX UK LIMITED on <a href="https://register.fca.org.uk/s/firm?id&#61;0014G00002antHVQAY" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the FCA website</a>.</p><h2 id="header-0">Continuing support for UK customers</h2><p>As a result, UK customers can continue to access Crypto.com’s products and services without disruption. The company emphasized its commitment to strengthening its platform and presence in the UK market. Crypto.com stated that it fully supports measures aimed at enhancing consumer safety and security in the cryptocurrency industry. The company also expressed its ongoing cooperation with UK and international regulators to foster consumer confidence in the crypto sector.</p><p>Effective from October 8, the FCA’s updated guidelines mandate that all crypto firms marketing their services to UK consumers must register with the FCA and adhere to relevant standards concerning risk disclosures and marketing practices.</p><h2 id="header-1">Regulatory compliance challenges</h2><p>While Crypto.com has managed to remain compliant, that’s not the case for all large and well-known crypto platforms. The FCA recently expanded its scrutiny of digital currency exchanges by<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/uk-watchdog-adds-crypto-exchanges-to-warning-list-d74abb9f8eea" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> adding</a> Huobi and KuCoin to its list of unapproved and unregistered firms.</p><p>The FCA alerted clients to the fact that these service providers were offering various crypto services in the UK without obtaining regulatory approval. This development follows a recent warning from the FCA, which highlighted several other crypto-focused companies.</p><h2 id="header-2">Binance’s compliance difficulties</h2><p>2023 has seen global crypto platform Binance struggle with regulatory compliance in various markets worldwide. In some jurisdictions where it has either decided to withdraw from the market or been asked to leave, the firm has taken the approach of still maintaining exposure to that market by establishing a partnership with a locally registered firm.</p><p>In the UK, Binance has partnered with Rebuildingsociety.com, a peer-to-peer lending platform. However, its local partner has<a href="https://ambcrypto.com/fca-restricts-binances-uk-partner-from-approving-crypto-ads/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> fallen foul</a> of the UK&#39;s FCA. On Tuesday, the UK regulator issued a notice clarifying that Rebuildingsociety.com was not authorized to “approve the content of any financial promotion for a Qualifying Cryptoasset for communication by an unauthorized person.”</p><p>Dubai-headquartered crypto exchange Bybit is another crypto business that has struggled with the FCA&#39;s new regulatory requirements. Last month the exchange<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/bybit-denies-plans-to-leave-uk-market-66d4e180cff" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> denied reports</a> that it was preparing to leave the UK market due to the new strict marketing rules. The following week the exchange <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/bybit-suspends-uk-services-due-to-new-marketing-regulations-b1cf3d374e0f" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">confirmed</a> that it would be leaving the UK market, ahead of the introduction of the new crypto marketing regulations.</p><p>Crypto.com had<a href="https://crypto.com/company-news/crypto-com-receives-registration-approval-as-cryptoasset-business-from-uk-financial-conduct-authority-fca" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> received</a> registration approval from the FCA in August 2022. At the time, CEO Kris Marsazalek stated:</p><p>“We are committed to the UK market and we look forward to developing our platform and presence in the UK further by expanding our offering to customers, while continuing to work with regulators.”</p><p>In June, the firm<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/crypto-com-scores-mpi-license-in-singapore-e02d1d2c807e" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> acquired</a> a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license in its home market of Singapore from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Around the same timeframe, the firm<a href="https://crypto.com/company-news/crypto-com-receives-provisional-approval-from-dubai-virtual-assets-regulatory-authority" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> received</a> a minimum viable product (MVP) license from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) in Dubai.</p>
