The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is seeking public feedback on key aspects of the crypto industry, including staking, lending, borrowing, intermediaries, and decentralized finance (DeFi). The request was published Friday in a newly released discussion paper, part of a broader effort to shape the country’s future crypto regulatory framework.

The move follows the U.K. Treasury’s draft legislation announced earlier this week, which aims to bring specific crypto-related activities under the FCA’s oversight. Once approved, the legislation would expand the FCA’s authority to supervise areas such as crypto exchanges, stablecoin issuance, and DeFi platforms.
