UK FCA to Ban Retail Crypto Borrowing, Tightens Digital Asset Rules

The Financial Conduct Authority just dropped the hammer—no more crypto-backed loans for retail punters. Another ’protective’ move that conveniently keeps the little guy away from leverage while whales keep playing with fire.

New rules target ’reckless’ digital asset lending, framing it as consumer protection. Never mind that traditional banks get a free pass on margin calls with 100x more systemic risk.

Regulators love banning things they don’t understand. Crypto markets barely flinched—because decentralized finance never asked for permission anyway.
