<p>Xapo Bank officials noted challenges in getting its banking license in the UK. They are eager to expand membership locally. The UK market presents a chance to share the future of digital finance. The UK is becoming a hub for cryptocurrency innovation with a strong regulatory framework and financial ecosystem.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-integration-with-the-uk-market">Integration with the UK Market</h2>  
<p>Xapo Bank's UK offerings include spending Bitcoin via a debit card. Customers can make GBP payments to UK bank accounts, invest in the S&amp;P 500, acquire select cryptocurrencies, and use stablecoin payment rails for USD bank accounts.&nbsp;</p>  
<p>Fintech firms seeking banking licenses in the UK have faced challenges recently. Yet Revolut, a crypto-friendly finance app, received a new banking license from UK regulators. This reflects growing acceptance of fintech innovations in the UK.</p>  
<p>Regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission since 2021, Xapo Bank expanded services in the UK. It is now officially recognized as a UK-regulated bank, marking a key step for offering financial services to UK customers.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-uk-crypto-landscape">UK Crypto Landscape</h2>  
<p>In July 2024, Revolut got a UK banking license with restrictions from the Prudential Regulation Authority. It is now in the 'mobilization' stage, a standard process for new banks. During this phase, the bank is limited to holding GBP 50,000 in total customer deposits with no service disruptions for customers. Revolut NewCo, a subsidiary of Revolut Group Holdings, holds the license. Revolut continues to serve UK customers until the bank's full launch.&nbsp;</p>
