Regulation in United Kingdom
The FCA regulates crypto firms under anti-money-laundering rules but does not specifically regulate staking yields. Crypto exchanges must be FCA-registered. Staking is generally permitted, though the FCA has banned retail crypto derivatives. Clear staking-specific regulation is expected under the upcoming Financial Services and Markets Act framework.
Tax: HMRC treats staking rewards as miscellaneous income, taxed at your marginal income tax rate when received. Capital gains tax applies on disposal. The annual CGT allowance (currently reduced) shelters small gains. DeFi staking may have different treatment — seek UK tax advice.
