This shift<\/a> <\/strong>provides greater legal certainty for blockchain networks using proof-of-stake mechanisms, such as Ethereum<\/a> <\/strong>and Solana<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The change, outlined in an amendment to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, officially excludes “qualifying crypto asset staking” from CIS regulations. 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 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
