[The UK to Lift Retail Ban on Crypto ETNs] According to Cointelegraph, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will lift the ban on retail investors purchasing crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) starting next week. This ban has been in place since 2019, provided that the related products are listed and traded on FCA-approved local investment exchanges in the UK. Unlike ETFs, ETNs are debt securities linked to crypto assets and are not backed by physical assets.
