‍UK Regulator Eases Rules for High-Risk Investments, Including Crypto The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has updated retail investment rules to ease access to higher-risk assets like cryptocurrencies for seasoned investors. Individuals with over £10 million in assets or proven investment experience can now be classified as professional investors, granting them broader access but with fewer consumer protections. The FCA is also replacing complex "Key Information Documents" with simpler "product summaries" to improve clarity. These changes aim to boost investor confidence and participation in the UK financial markets, including the digital asset sector.
