FCA and Eunice Partner to Strengthen UK Crypto Disclosures

The Financial Conduct Authority’s decision to accept RegTech platform Eunice into its Regulatory Sandbox marks an important step in strengthening the transparency and integrity of the United Kingdom’s crypto markets. As criminal exploitation of digital assets continues to evolve, the creation of standardised, industry-led disclosure templates represents a significant opportunity to raise market standards and improve investor protection. Eunice’s work with leading crypto firms, including Coinbase, Crypto.com and Kraken, highlights growing industry recognition that clear and consistent disclosures are essential to reducing information asymmetry, mitigating market abuse risks and building public trust in digital assets.

For the financial crime community, this collaboration signals a shift towards embedding compliance, transparency and risk management into the foundations of the digital asset ecosystem. Poor disclosure practices have historically enabled misinformation, manipulation and opaque token structures, all of which create vulnerabilities that illicit actors can exploit. By using the Regulatory Sandbox to test enhanced disclosure frameworks in real market conditions, Eunice and the FCA are setting out a model for high-integrity digital asset governance that places investor understanding and risk clarity at its core.

The insight gained from Eunice’s testing will help shape future regulatory expectations, particularly as the FCA finalises its crypto disclosure rules in 2026. Effective disclosures will not only improve consumer protection but will also support intelligence gathering and early detection of suspicious activity. Standardised templates can help firms better articulate token functionality, governance structures, cross-chain connectivity and financial crime controls, all of which are essential for robust due diligence and ongoing monitoring by regulated firms.

This initiative aligns with the FCA’s wider Crypto Roadmap, which emphasises industry engagement and collaborative innovation. With more than 95 global regulators now using or replicating sandbox models, the United Kingdom continues to position itself as a leader in proportionate and outcomes-focused crypto regulation. As the crypto sector remains highly dynamic, adopting a transparent framework for admissions, disclosures and market integrity is essential to reducing systemic risks and reinforcing the UK’s competitiveness as a safe and well-regulated digital asset hub.
