[UK FCA to Adjust Crypto Asset Regulation, Some Traditional Financial Rules May Be Exempted] The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) plans to bring crypto asset companies under a comprehensive regulatory framework starting in 2024, but some traditional financial rules will be exempted. The FCA stated that existing financial regulations are difficult to fully adapt to the characteristics of the crypto industry and will adjust regulatory measures based on risk levels. Crypto platforms may not be required to comply with core principles such as 'conducting business with integrity' or 'prioritizing client interests,' nor will they need to provide cooling-off periods or cancellation rights for customers. Meanwhile, the FCA intends to strengthen oversight of operational risks such as cyberattacks and is currently seeking opinions on whether to introduce consumer protection obligations.
