Blockchain.com has received approval from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to operate as a cryptoasset business, following Gemini’s exit from the UK market. CEO Peter Smith emphasized the company’s commitment to the UK market, where it was founded in 2011 and now has its headquarters in London.

The FCA registration allows Blockchain.com to offer brokerage, custodial, and institutional-grade crypto services in the UK, where it has processed over $1.2 trillion in crypto transactions and served more than 90 million wallets globally. This approval follows the platform securing its MiCA license in late 2025 to provide services across all 30 European Economic Area countries.

Blockchain.com’s FCA registration enables the company to provide digital asset custody and wallet services to UK customers, support compliance and treasury tools for institutions, expand brokerage services, and strengthen partnerships with regulated financial entities. The company has hired leaders from top financial and tech firms and recently expanded its Board of Directors with industry veterans.
