Quotes that support claims

The move means cETNs could be sold to individual consumers rather than just professional investors in the U.K., provided these are traded on an FCA-approved investment exchange (a Recognized Investment Exchange or RIE), according to an FCA press release on Friday.

Retail investors would be allowed to purchase crypto ETNs, debt instruments tied to digital asset prices, if these are listed on a recognized investment exchange and meet the UK’s financial promotion rules
