The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has added Bitstamp, a Bitcoin exchange, to its register of registered cryptocurrency firms. The corresponding information has been posted on the regulator's website.
The decision came into effect on June 13 and reflects the firm's compliance with regulatory requirements regarding anti-money laundering.
The list also includes brokerage firm Interactive Brokers. In 2021, it launched cryptocurrency trading and later announced the transition to 24/7 digital asset trading and the addition of new coins to its listing.
Previously, FCA approval was granted to the subsidiary of the Bitcoin exchange Kraken and infrastructure provider MoonPay. At the time of writing, the register includes over 40 companies.
