UK FCA Raids Multiple Suspected Illegal P2P Cryptocurrency Trading Venues
Svmuu News: The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), in collaboration with HM Revenue & Customs and the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit, recently conducted raids on eight locations across the UK suspected of engaging in illegal P2P cryptocurrency trading. Officials issued prohibition orders on-site, requiring the operators to cease activities immediately and gathered relevant evidence. The UK FCA pointed out that currently, no P2P cryptocurrency traders or platforms are registered with the regulator in the UK. Furthermore, in the recent multi-agency Operation Atlantic, law enforcement agencies froze $12 million in assets linked to cryptocurrency scams and traced over $45 million in stolen cryptocurrency. The UK FCA has now launched a consultation on its guidelines for the cryptocurrency regulatory framework set to take effect in 2027.
