- In a post, the FSA said cryptocurrencies received increased attention recently along with significant criminal activity. In addition, the high volatility associated with crypto creates a high risk of loss, the authority said.
- The regulatory body stressed the cryptocurrency market remains largely unregulated and consumer protections are needed.
- In September 2020 the European Commission presented a proposal for regulation of the crypto market, but the rules won’t be in place for several years, the FSA noted.
- “Until such regulations are in place, anyone considering trading in cryptocurrency should think carefully and understand the significant risk that such investments entail. Consumers who want to try this with open eyes should not invest more than they can afford to lose,” said the FSA.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch
When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
- Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
