    CryptoUK, a self-regulatory organization for companies involved with cryptocurrencies, whose members include Coinbase, CEX.IO, CoinFloor and others, has allegedly contacted several Members of Parliament (MPs) with a proposal to implement regulation in the sphere.

    The request is for the financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to start overseeing what we have frequently called “entry level” companies – exchanges accepting fiat currencies payments for the purchase of cryprocurrencies. According to the proposal, this should be done under the existing peer-to-peer finance legislation and not the rules applies for financial market intermediaries.
