4. UK lifts ban on retail crypto ETNs, strengthening its position as a digital asset hub
On August 6, Cointelegraph reported that the UK financial regulator has lifted the ban on crypto exchange-traded notes (cETNs) for retail investors, allowing individual investors to make their own risk choices. This move has received industry support and is seen as a step for the UK to align with the global crypto market and strengthen its position as a digital asset hub. Last Friday, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced the lifting of the ban on retail investors trading cETNs, with the regulatory change set to take effect on October 8. The ban was implemented in January 2021 due to extreme market volatility and a "lack of legitimate investment demand." The lifting of the cETN ban reflects a shift in the regulator's attitude towards crypto assets. An FCA executive stated that this decision reflects the development of the market and the public's increased understanding of crypto-related products. Although the FCA has lifted the ban on cETNs, the regulator clarified that crypto derivatives remain prohibited. -Original
