  As of now, cryptocurrency trading in the UK is not regulated by specific legislation. However, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued guidance on the regulatory framework that applies to cryptocurrencies. The FCA requires cryptocurrency businesses to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) regulations. Traders should also be aware of tax obligations and ensure they are compliant with the relevant tax laws. It's important to stay updated on any changes or developments in the regulatory landscape.
