Blockchain.com on Feb. 10, 2026 announces registration with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to operate as a crypto asset business, enabling the firm to offer brokerage, custodial and institutional‑grade crypto services across the UK; the company says it began in York and has been part of the UK crypto ecosystem for over a decade.

This matters because the FCA registration—coming after Blockchain.com secured a Markets in Crypto‑Assets (MiCA) license for the 30‑country European Economic Area last year—positions the company to pursue an authorization gateway later in 2026 and full authorization under the UK’s permanent regime in 2027, supporting expanded custody, brokerage and enterprise compliance offerings in the UK.

Blockchain.com says the registration confirms its long‑term UK commitment and readiness to work with the FCA and policymakers; CEO Peter Smith emphasizes the company’s British roots and regulatory cooperation, and Co‑founder Nic Cary highlights readiness to partner with regulated UK financial entities.
