The race for the FCA’s authorisation gateway for the Market Abuse Regime for Cryptoassets (MARC) is officially on, with the application window set to open on September 30, 2026. This isn't just a regulatory update; it is a fundamental shift in how digital assets are supervised in the UK, requiring firms to bridge the gap between traditional market integrity and the unique complexities of onchain risks to cross the finish line successfully.
Join Solidus Labs and Hogan Lovells for DACOM UK, as we unpack the MARC framework. We will provide the technical insights and strategic roadmap necessary to navigate the FCA gateway, ensuring your firm is prepared to pivot from preparation to execution
On your MARC. Get set. Go.
