Welcome to the version 10.0 of Fintech UK's and CompliReg's (a leading provider of fintech consulting services to crypto asset firms) UK FCA registered Cryptoasset Firms Map.
How many registered cryptoasset firms are there in the UK?
There remains 44 registered Cryptoasset firms appearing on the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) website as at 12th September 2024. There has been now increase in numbers since version 9.0 was issued on 27th February 2024.
Version 10 of the Map is issued to recognised that ABEC Capital UK Limited now operates under the registration originally issued to Rubicon Digital UK Limited back 7 April 2022. On 28th August 2024, ABEX Capital UK Limited announced that it became authorised as a cryptobusiness in the UK. Companies House records for ABEX record a change of name on 27 August 2024 from Rubicon.
ABEX says: "This strategic move enables ABEX to expand its services beyond providing innovative solutions based on advanced proprietary execution algorithms, smart order routing, and ultra-low latency, and high frequency trading infrastructure. ABEX Capital UK Limited which will operate under the supervision of the FCA, one of the world’s most trusted financial regulators, will allow ABEX to broaden its institutional client service offerings to include agency algorithms on a matched principal basis."
Erkan Kaya, CEO and Co-Founder of ABEX, stated: “Owning an FCA registered entity is an exciting milestone for ABEX, reinforcing our commitment to delivering institutional-grade, best execution services for digital assets under regulatory supervision. This status aligns seamlessly with our strategic vision of not only servicing our institutional clients in a transparent and fully auditable fashion but doing so to standards which meet the requirements of a major regulator.”.
ABEX, is a leading provider of agency algorithms and ultra-low latency, high frequency trading infrastructure for digital assets.
There are now, as at 12 September 2024, 44 'unregistered cryptoasset firms according to the latest FCA records. This is sharp decline since the time we published the Version 9.0 Map when there were 69.
As we continue to Map registered Cryptoasset firms, expect to see certain logos appear more than once as several brands will be registering several Cryptoasset firms for different purposes, such as - for example - services for (1) trading and (2) custody. An example of this is in fact Zodia. While Zodia Markets (UK) Limited was registered on 27 July 2022, its affiliate Zodia Custody Limited was registered effective 15 July 2021.
