Standard Chartered Bank has been registered by the UK Financial Conduct Authority as a cryptoasset services provider! The first bank to achieve that status in the UK. The bank was registered for crypto asset services on Monday 14 July 2025. Standard Chartered has now begun, today Tuesday 15 July, allowing institutional clients to directly trade bitcoin and ether, becoming the first major bank to enable spot cryptocurrency transactions.

This means that FINTECH UK has had to publish Version 13 of its UK Registered #CryptoAsset Firms Map just hours after publishing V12 based on close of business data of 14 July when Standard Chartered did not appear on the FCA register!

​Special thanks to our two new key supporters – Intercept Technologies and Animo Digital – both who are active in supporting the UK and EU Digital Assets Industry and the wider Fintech Ecosystems.

​How many registered cryptoasset firms are there in the UK?

There are now 52 registered Cryptoasset firms appearing on the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) website as at 15th July 2025.  This represents an increase of one firm since version 12.0 was issued just yesterday.

​Standard Chartered Bank is now the 6th firm registered in 2025 by the UK FCA and the first one in H2 2025. Thes list of 2025 registrants thus far are:


* GSR Markets UK Limited – 31 December 2024
* CB Payments Ltd (aka Coinbase) – 03 February 2025
* BlackRock International, Limited – 01 April 2025
* BPX Digital Securities Marketplace – 29 May 2025
* Asset Reality Limited – 20 June 2025
* Keyrock UK Limited – 25 June 2025
* Standard Chartered Bank - 14 July 2025​

How many firms have been registered and deregistered by the UK FCA?

For those interested in the details, the number of registrations since 2020 until today are as follows:

• 2020 – 4 registrations 
• 2021 - 25 registrations (3 firms registered in 2021 were subsequently deregistered)
• 2022 – 12 registrations
• 2023 – 4 registrations
• 2024 – 4 registrations (slightly confusing is that Gensis Custody is recorded as MLR registered in 2024, but it was registered in 2021. In any event, it is now de-registered)
• 2025 – 6 registrations

Total: 52 (55 less 3 de-registrations).  These 52 UK FCA registered crypto firms are shown on our Map above.

How many unregistered crypto firms appear on the FCA register?

There remains now 32 'unregistered cryptoasset business’ according to the then FCA records. Back on 24 October 2024 the number was 44 'unregistered cryptoasset business’.  This is a decrease of 12 firms.  However this is a net number.  The most recent addition to the list of unregistered crypto firms in the UK is Orbis of DNS House, 382 Kenton Road, Harrow, Middlesex, HA3 8DP, UNITED KINGDOM (www.orbios.money) added on 19 March 2025. Yet still, overall, there appears to have been a sharp decline in the number of unregistered crypto asset firms since the publication of Version 9.0 Map when there were 69 such unregistered crypto firms.

Fintech UK is looking to partner with registered / regulated (or soon to be) cryptoasset firms on building out a cryptoasset section on our website.  If you are senior executive at a UK registered cryptoasset firm, please contact us here to discuss the proposed project.  Also happy to hear from senior executives at businesses which support crypto firms to support the project.

Blackrock International:

World-leading asset management firm BlackRock has received the green light from the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to offer crypto asset services and products.

Asset Reality Limited:

“Practitioners have always struggled with disjointed tools - managing spreadsheets, selecting wallets and exchanges, sourcing technical specialists and valuers, and navigating complex court processes without dedicated support,” said Aidan Larkin, co-founder and CEO of Asset Reality. “We’ve brought all that together in one purpose-built Platform for the first time, making seized asset management smarter, safer, and more accountable. This makes the Asset Reality Platform the first and only asset recovery operating system purpose-built by experienced practitioners for court-ordered asset recovery."

KeyRock:

Bradley Howell, UK Managing Director, states: “London is one of the world’s most influential financial hubs, and the FCA’s regulatory framework offers the structure needed for responsible market growth. Expanding Keyrock’s presence in the UK is a strategic step to address rising demand for trading solutions in a market that is central to the future of digital assets.”

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. Example of this include Zodia x 2 (Markets & Custody), Gemini x 2 (Payments and Intergalactic) and Bitpanda x 2 (Custody and Broker).

It is important to note that crypto firms registered in the UK cannot offer their services from the UK into Europe.  Those UK companies which are part of a group of companies where one of the group members holds a VASP registration in a Member State can offer service sin that Member State only.  Once the VASP achieves MiCA Regulation authorisation in their Member State or in another Member State and has the necessary passporting permissions, they will be able to offer those services across the EEA.  If you are unsure of:

• the registration requirements in the UK, please contact CompliReg.
• the authorisation requirements in the EEA, please contact MiCA Ready.

Revolut Ltd, as of today, is the only firm listed on the Temporary Registration list and it was listed on December 2021 list too.  Interestingly, in addition to a cryptoasset registration, the Revolut group hasn't achieved obtaining of its much talked about bank authorisation in the UK either.  ​

We are looking forward to seeing how many more will be registered before the end of the year.
