From October 8, 2025, UK investors will be able to trade Bitcoin and crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) on FCA-approved UK exchanges. This move gives regular investors more options in the crypto space, but comes with a warning: these ETNs wonโt be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The Financial Conduct Authority is keeping its ban on crypto derivatives in place, aiming to balance investor choice with ongoing concerns about risk.
