It's no secret that regulators worldwide are tightening the screws on the cryptocurrency industry, and now it's Great Britain's turn. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has decided to take a swing at it, proposing a ban on using credit cards for crypto purchases.
According to a new report from Reuters, the FCA aims to combat "bad actors" while still supporting legitimate projects. The FCA may restrict the use of credit cards to directly buy cryptoassets and restrict the use of a credit line provided by an e-money firm to do so[1][2][5]. However, consumers would still be able to purchase stablecoins by credit card.
As always, the FCA advises crypto investors to be prepared to lose everything when betting on digital assets. Earlier this year, the FCA moved to ban crypto ads, managing to cut the advertisements down by 50%[1]. The regulator is now making good progress with tech companies in regulating these banned advertisements but is still "concerned about the prevalence of frauds and scams online."
When seeking feedback on crypto regulation in February, David Geale, executive director of payments and digital finance at the FCA, said: "Crypto is a growing industry. Currently largely unregulated, we want to create a crypto regime that gives firms the clarity they need to safely innovate, while delivering appropriate levels of market integrity and consumer protection."
