Firms that intend to provide cryptoasset services that fall within the scope of the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 are required to register with the FCA first.

The FCA guidance covers:

• Which firms are required to apply for registration;
• How to apply for registration;
• Requesting a pre-application meeting;
• Tips on applications; and
• The FCA’s fit and proper assessments.

UK firms intending to provide cryptoasset services should view the FCA guidance prior to submitting their registration application to the regulator.
