The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the readiness of the Financial Conduct Authority to (a) implement and (b) enforce the proposed regulatory regime for cryptoassets by the proposed commencement date.

Answered by Emma Reynolds

HM Treasury has engaged closely with the Financial Conduct Authority in developing the future financial services regulatory regime for cryptoassets and the FCA published its discussion paper shortly after HM Treasury published its draft legislation. The FCA has also published a roadmap setting out their preparation in advance of the regime going live.
