The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has opened applications for a new crypto regime that treats yield lending differently from Bitcoin collateral, changing how customer assets are protected. Applications are open from September 30, 2026, to February 28, 2027, with the framework expected to take effect on October 25, 2027. Under the new rules, firms offering qualifying crypto lending services can classify related assets differently, impacting how assets are safeguarded and customer claims handled if a platform fails. Retail protections like disclosures and consent remain, but investment losses won't be covered by compensation schemes.
