In a June 8 announcement, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said that from Oct. 8, advertisers of crypto services in the U.K. would be subjected to stricter regulations.
The watchdog has mandated that crypto companies in the U.K. implement a “cooling-off period” for first-time investors. Additionally, as part of measures to enhance investor awareness of risks, the FCA has prohibited using “refer a friend” bonuses by firms in the sector.
