UK regulatory regime · in transitionToday a brand's UK regulatory standing rests on its FCA cryptoasset-register (MLR) registration — an anti-money-laundering registration, not a conduct or suitability approval. When the FSMA regime takes effect (25 Oct 2027), IndexFair will count an FSMA authorisation as the same regulatory signal it counts the MLR registration as today.
