Foreign crypto services are regulated by a new bill in the UK.

The crypto industry will be subject to increased scrutiny as a result of the amendments to the regulatory framework.

Despite Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party's rhetorical embrace of cryptocurrency, the industry is expected to face increased scrutiny under the forthcoming regulatory framework. The financial regulator will have more authority thanks to the new laws, which will likely restrict the activities of foreign companies in the United Kingdom.

A report in the Financial Times claims that the FTX collapse has altered the direction of the UK's regulatory regime. According to reports, the Treasury is nearing completion of a set of guidelines that will allow the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to keep an eye on the activities and marketing efforts of cryptocurrency businesses across the country. Foreigners would be unable to easily sell cryptocurrency on the UK market.

The report doesn't go into detail on the restrictions, but it's safe to assume that they'd be used to compel businesses to register with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). FCA chief executive Nikhil Rathi claims that 85% of applicants did not pass the FCA's anti-money laundering (AML) tests, so the process is already difficult enough.

The regulations are being worked on in tandem with the financial services and markets bill. The comprehensive bill, which includes crypto regulation but is not limited to it, has already been presented to the British Parliament. According to FT sources, the UK's consultation on cryptocurrencies was originally scheduled to conclude in 2021 but may now be delayed until 2023 due to "fast-moving events" in the sector.

However, the risks of crypto and the "pros and cons" of central bank-issued cryptocurrency will be discussed by the FCA and the Bank of England on December 7 at a meeting of the cross-party Treasury committee. The hearing will also feature testimony from investigative journalists who have written about the investments made by British soccer fans who were duped by cryptocurrency advertisements.

Members of the Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Committee launched a public inquiry at the start of November to gather input on the potential impacts of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and blockchain technology on the British economy.

The S&P 500 lost 0.9%, and the Nasdaq Composite lost nearly 1.5%. Stocks are likely to end the month and the year in the red, and investors' hopes for a Santa Claus rally are fading fast. "There's still no sign of Santa. "Harness up," said Louis Navellier, who started the growth investing firm Navellier & Associates. "One would like to think all the bad news is out. There are no more Fed moves until at least February. We're not getting worse, but we're also not making up for last week's losses." Investors worried that the Federal Reserve could tip the economy into a ...

A change to Ethereum could make a new group of crypto kingpins.

The long-awaited update to Ethereum will add new people to the blockchain ecosystem, who will be called builders. This could change the power structure of what is arguably the most important cryptocurrency network for business. Under the current system, networks of computers called "miners" pull transactions from a special data pool and put them into blocks, which are then added to the blockchain. As part of a plan to cut down on energy use, the miners are being fired. After the Merge update, which is set to happen in September, the builders will put transactions into blocks and send them to the validators. The validators will agree on the order of the blocks that will make up the upgraded blockchain by signing their names. This geeky-looking change, which is part of an upgrade to the software called MEV-Boost, could make Ethereum more centralized, at least at first. Even though there are already more than 416,000 validators ready to process transactions, only a few people ha...
