The policy decision-makers in the United Kingdom got split on whether the sale, marketing, and distribution of derivatives and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) attached with cryptocurrencies ought to be restricted with regards to retail investors.

On Jan. 23, 2023, the Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC), an advisory public body, sponsored by the public authority’s Department for Business, Energy and Modern Strategy, laid out its reasons against the FCA’s prohibition.
Utilizing the cost-benefit analysis, the RPC evaluated a yearly loss from the measure at generally $333 million (268.5 million British pounds).

On that basis, the RPC rates the prohibition at the “red” level, and that implies it isn’t good for reason according to the audit.

The negative audit by RPC doesn’t be guaranteed to prompt the immediate inversion of legislation. However, given the Committee’s connections to the Department for Business, Energy and Modern Strategy, it might stamp the different comprehension of the reasonable regulation by the FCA and the public authority.
