The regulator stated that crypto ATMs could be utilised for various illegal activities,including money laundering and terrorist financing. FCA has urged members of the public to report any suspicions of illegal crypto activities to relevant authorities.

It recently assumed responsibility for overseeing crypto-asset businesses in the UK,requiring such companies to register with it and comply with anti-money laundering regulations. This new inspection initiative further cements the FCA's position as a significant regulator of the crypto space in the UK.
