The UK government has advanced its plan to regulate crypto assets within financial services law by October 2027. HM Treasury submitted the 2025 Crypto Assets Regulations to parliament, outlining governance and disclosure requirements for trading platforms, custody services, staking, and lending.

A separate review into risks from political financing through crypto donations is scheduled for completion by March 2026.
