- admissions and disclosures and market abuse regime for cryptoassets;
- stablecoin issuance;
- regulated cryptoasset activities;
- a prudential regime for cryptoasset firms; and
- application of the FCA Handbook for regulated cryptoasset activities.
Additionally, it has published guidance on:
- application of the Consumer Duty to cryptoasset firms;
- cryptoasset operational resilience; and
- approach to international cryptoasset firms.
And finally, short consultations on non-Handbook guidance relevant to COREPRU 7 (the overall risk assessment) and the corresponding chapter in CRYPTOPRU.
