Blockchain.com Registers with UK FCA, Reaffirms London Headquarters

Published at 2026-02-11 11:00:14

Blockchain.com has officially registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority to operate as a crypto asset business, a step it completed in February. The registration underlines the firm's commitment to its London headquarters and signals a sustained focus on the UK market amid a tighter regulatory landscape.

The FCA registration matters because it formalizes AML and consumer-protection obligations and can increase confidence among retail and institutional clients and partners. For Blockchain.com, the move should ease regulatory friction for products and services offered in the UK, support business continuity in its home market, and position the firm to compete more effectively as U.K. crypto rules continue to evolve.
