Just In: SBF’s FTX In Big Trouble Over Regulations Amid Crypto Downturn

The clash between the UK’s financial regulators and digital asset companies is getting intense. In the latest development, the British watchdog issued warnings for the users against the use of Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) FTX crypto exchange.

FTX faces pressure from UK watchdogs

As per reports, Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) informed that the FTX is offering products and other services in the nations without any authorization. The authority mentioned the digital asset firm is unauthorized and is targeting the people in the UK.

FTX or SBF hasn’t issued any comment on this allegation. However, the UK regulator’s major charge against one of the largest crypto exchanges doesn’t come as a surprise. FCA had a fierce battle with Binance.

Meanwhile, UK watchdogs are stepping up to set up guidelines around this unregulated industry of digital assets.

Earlier, the FCA issued a warning against Binance claiming that it is offering complex and high risk financial products. The crypto exchange is posing a huge risk for investing customers. The regulator added that the CZ’s crypto exchange has failed to respond to some of its basic queries.
