UK regulator lifts ban on retail purchase of crypto ETNs

Investing.com -- The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Britain’s financial regulator, said on Friday that it has decided to lift a ban that prevented retail investors from purchasing crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs).

This marks a shift from its prior stance of keeping these products out of the hands of non-professional investors.

The FCA announced its decision on Friday, stating that allowing retail investors to buy ETNs would foster growth and competitiveness.

This move is an indication of the UK’s evolving approach towards cryptocurrencies, as the government seeks to bolster the economy and promote a digital assets industry.
