FCA Takes Action Against HTX
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has launched legal proceedings against HTX, citing illegal crypto promotions to UK consumers — a breach of rules introduced in Oct 2023.
Despite warnings, existing UK users can still access content deemed unlawful. HTX has blocked new UK registrations, and its Facebook, Instagram & TikTok accounts are now inaccessible in the UK. X & YouTube channels remain live.
This is part of the FCA’s tighter crypto oversight, with a full regulatory regime expected by 2027, aligning crypto with traditional finance.
