The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), U.K.’s top financial watchdog, has advised banks to adopt appropriate measures to minimize the risks and exposure inherent in the cryptocurrency business.
This advice was contained in a recent letter sent by the FCA to the CEOs of local U.K. banks.

The FCA encouraged banks to be more thorough in their know-your-customer (KYC) activities.
Due Diligence for Cryptocurrency Clients
Another area of concern for the FCA is the risk posed by the anonymity of cryptocurrency transactions.
