Britain's FCA Opens Crypto Licensing Gateway Ahead of 2027 Enforcement
The Financial Conduct Authority has opened its crypto authorisation gateway, setting a strict February deadline for firms in Britain.
Britain Initiates Crypto Licensing Process
According to NewsBTC, the Financial Conduct Authority officially opened its crypto licensing gateway on September 30. Companies currently operating that intend to continue their activities under the upcoming rules must submit their applications by February 28, 2027.
The regulatory clock is ticking for digital asset entities in the region as authorities prepare for full enforcement. Firms must navigate the new authorization procedures well before the final winter deadline to ensure compliance.
Global Regulatory Shifts and Tax Delays
Meanwhile, regulatory adjustments are taking place in other major markets. According to Bitcoin Magazine, South Korea is actively weighing a fourth delay to its planned 22 percent crypto tax, potentially pushing the effective date from January 2027 to 2029.
The potential postponement in South Korea is tied to international data-sharing timelines and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development framework. Lawmakers and industry groups argue that domestic investor protections and comprehensive digital asset laws must be established before any tax levy is implemented.
