In the latest episode of our Global Regulation Tomorrow Plus mini-series on cryptoassets Hannah Meakin and Simon Lovegrove discuss FCA CP26/4: Application of FCA Handbook for regulated cryptoasset activities – part 2.
In CP26/4 the FCA is consulting on how the Consumer Duty will apply to cryptoasset firms, supported by additional non-Handbook guidance, so firms deliver good outcomes for retail customers. It also covers Redress and Dispute Resolution (DISP) – the FCA’s approach to complaints handling and redress, ensuring consumers have clear routes to resolve issues. Plus Conduct of Business Standards (COBS) – applying key conduct rules to cryptoasset activities, so firms act fairly and transparently.
