Key Points:
Commencing on October 8, Nexo Exchange and Nexo Card transactions, as well as referral and affiliate programs, will be phased out.
The stricter cryptocurrency marketing rules set forth by the FCA will classify cryptocurrencies as “restricted” mass-market investments. Under these rules, any promotional activities must include “clear risk warnings” and are prohibited from offering investment incentives such as “referral bonuses” or “new customer rewards.”
Nexo UK exchange is taking these steps to ensure compliance with the FCA’s new regulations, which mandate firms to register and approve their own advertisements, as well as make system adjustments like providing first-time buyers with at least 24 hours to confirm their interest in investment invitations.
Companies found in violation of the FCA’s forthcoming consumer marketing regulations could face penalties of up to two years in prison. These regulations are scheduled to go into effect on October 8th, although companies can apply for a three-month extension.
Nexo UK exchange joins other cryptocurrency service providers in discontinuing specific crypto services for UK clients ahead of the new regulatory framework. Additionally, Luno has suspended certain UK clients from investing in cryptocurrencies as part of these regulatory adjustments.
