UK FCA Publishes Draft Rules for Public Comment, Wants to Limit Cryptocurrency Marketing
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published draft rules proposing restrictions on the marketing of certain cryptocurrency assets. The rules essentially prohibit companies from promoting cryptocurrency products to users without assessing their financial knowledge and experience.
The FCA is currently inviting public feedback on its draft rules by March 23, and intends to confirm its final rules this summer. The FCA defines a qualifying crypto asset as “any cryptographically protected digital representation of value or contractual rights.” Notably, NFTs are not part of the FCA’s draft rules for the promotion of cryptocurrencies.
