Now back in business, the exchange offers 190 digital assets to UK users, aiming to regain its strong regional presence.
The company also strongly emphasizes strict regulatory compliance, holding 40 licenses globally and boasting a history of no security breaches or legal conflicts with regulators.

CEX.IO’s re-entry into the UK market highlights the changing regulatory landscape for crypto companies, especially after the FCA introduced stricter rules for crypto asset promotions. These include mandatory investor questionnaires and a cooling-off period for UK customers. The FCA has issued more than 450 warnings about non-compliant crypto promotions since the new rules came into effect in October 2023.
CEX.IO has partnered with Gateway 21, a regulated financial promotions approval body to ensure compliance. Such partnerships are becoming more common as companies like Nexo and Binance also seek FCA-approved intermediaries to navigate the UK’s strict crypto regulations.
