FCA lifts ban on retail access to certain crypto-ETNs
On 27 October 2025, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced it will lift the ban on retail investors trading crypto exchange-traded notes (cETNs) listed on UK-recognised exchanges. This marks a regulatory shift toward reopening crypto exposure for UK retail clients. For forex and CFD brokers, the move signals potential expansion into crypto-linked products under evolving FCA oversight.
