However, the UK is a very big region for the crypto sector but laws are very strict for the crypto companies and it remains usually a very tough job for the companies to secure regulatory approval from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). 

On the other hand, currently, all the crypto companies are providing crypto services on behalf of traditional financial rules & laws across the EU member countries. 

This year, the EU parliament passed the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) to regulate the whole crypto sector under a single framework.

In the present time, huge numbers of fund manager companies are trying to launch their Bitcoin spot ETF product in the US. Nearly 12 fund managers are currently in the queue to get regulatory approval from the American regulator SEC body. 

Traditional financial giant players are now aware enough of the potential of this innovative sector and they are exploring all the possible ways to establish a perfect business model to enjoy the first mover advantage.
