Welcome to the fourth edition (version 4.0) of Fintech UK's and CompliReg's (a leading provider of fintech consulting services to crypto asset firms) UK FCA registered Cryptoasset Firms Map.
There are now 37 registered Cryptoasset firms appearing on the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) website as at Tuesday 16th August 2022. Welcome to Crypto.com. The FCA register records Foris DAX UK LTD (aka Crypto.com) registration effective 16th August 2022.
We will not repeat what we said in our previous Blogs, such as Version 3.0 Blog. You can read the Version 3.0 blog here.
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.
At the time we released Version 1, there were 218 (thereabouts) unregistered cryptoasset business listed on the UK FCA's website that appear, to the FCA, to be carrying on cryptoasset activity, that are not registered with the FCA for anti-money laundering purposes. As of today (20 September 2022), that number has decreased to 246. On both 18th and 28th July 2022 the figure was 248.
The firms thus far registered by the FCA include:
2020: Archax Ltd, Gemini Europe Ltd, Gemini Europe Services Ltd, Ziglu Limited, Digivault Limited,
2021: Fibermode Limited, Zodia Custody Limited, Ramp Swaps Limited, Solidi Ltd, Coinpass Limited, CoinJar UK Limited, Trustology Limited, Commercial Rapid Payment Technologies Limited, Iconomi Ltd, Skrill Limited, Paysafe Financial Services Limited, Crypto Facilities Ltd, Fidelity Digital Assets LTD, Payward Limited, Galaxy Digital UK Limited, BABB Platform Ltd, BCP Technologies Limited, Zumo Financial Services Limited, Baanx.com Ltd, Bottlepay Ltd, Genesis Custody Limited, Altalix Ltd,
2022: X Capital Group Limited, Enigma Securities Ltd, Light Technology Limited, eToro (UK) Ltd, Uphold Europe Limited, Wintermute Trading LTD, Rubicon Digital UK Limited, DRW Global Markets Ltd, Zodia Markets (UK) Limited and Foris DAX UK Ltd (aka Crypto.com).
Revolut Ltd, as of today, is the only firm listed on the Temporary Registration list and has been on that list nine months (first listed on December 2021). 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.
