Crypto analytics firm Block Scholes gains UK regulatory approval
Quick Take
- The London-based firm secures a hard-to-attain license from the FCA.
Digital assets data provider Block Scholes has registered with the UK’s financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, gaining a license notoriously difficult to obtain.
The London-based company can now legally offer its services, including trading advice and financial products, to the UK market.
According to statistics released on Wednesday, the FCA has approved and registered only 15% of crypto asset companies as of January 2023. The rest were rejected or withdrew their applications.
“Our FCA registration covers our activities in relation to regulated instruments but in this rapidly changing regulatory environment, we wanted to be leaders in this regard by beginning the regulatory registration process,” CEO Eamonn Gashier said in a release shared with The Block.
The FCA is the body supervising crypto firms in the UK, ensuring anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing compliance.
