Unlike mutual funds or ETFs, which require authorization and strict compliance under the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), staking will not face such burdens. The new rule is set to take effect on January 31, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>This adjustment aligns with the UK Treasury\u2019s broader plan to regulate digital assets. New guidelines for staking services, stablecoins, and other crypto activities are expected in early 2025, with a comprehensive regulatory framework for trading platforms and crypto lending anticipated by 2026.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/russian-authorities-seize-bitcoin-and-assets-in-bribery-case-involving-former-investigator\/\" title=\"Russian Authorities Seize Bitcoin and Assets in Bribery Case Involving Former Investigator\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/bitcoin-23-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Russian Authorities Seize Bitcoin and Assets in Bribery Case Involving Former Investigator<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite these steps, the FCA continues to face challenges in overseeing the crypto industry. In 2024, it received thousands of reports about unlawful crypto advertisements, but action was taken in just over half the cases. Additionally, controversies like TikTok\u2019s alleged unregistered crypto exchange and the Solana-based Pump.fun platform halting UK services highlight ongoing enforcement difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>The Treasury\u2019s move signals an effort to support innovation in the crypto sector while addressing regulatory gaps. By exempting staking from rigid CIS rules, the UK is positioning itself to accommodate blockchain technologies while still protecting
