The latest policy from the UK's FCA has arrived. According to the announcement, crypto asset service providers must obtain full authorization before the new regulations officially take effect in October 2027. How will this proceed? The application window is set to open in September 2026, meaning companies have less than a year and a half to prepare. For institutions already registered under anti-money laundering regulations, this essentially means going through the approval process again. Even more frustrating, companies that miss the deadline will be placed under transitional management, which means they can only continue operating their existing product lines, while all new products and services are prohibited from launching. This policy adjustment has a significant impact on the entire European crypto ecosystem.

Another wave of regulatory tightening is coming. In less than a year and a half, a full set of approvals will be required? This pace is indeed a bit rushed.

A year and a half? That's laughable. For a small team, that's basically a deadline.

Wow, less than a year and a half? There's no chance for companies to catch their breath.

Wait, less than a year and a half? Is the FCA trying to kill off so many projects? It's a live discouragement conference.

A year and a half? That's laughable. This is basically forcing everyone into 996 work hours. How can small teams withstand this kind of approval hassle? It feels like another big reshuffle is coming.

A year and a half? Haha, they're rushing the schedule. The regulatory authorities really know how to play.

A year and a half of preparation time? That's simply not enough. Is the FCA trying to shut down a batch of companies?
