In a move to align with the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) new regulations in the United Kingdom, OKX exchange has <a href="https://www.okx.com/learn/new-fca-rules" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">introduced</a> a comprehensive user evaluation system. Starting next week, UK-based users of OKX will undergo a detailed investor questionnaire. This measure is essential for assessing their grasp of the risks involved in buying and trading cryptocurrencies.
Moreover, there is an additional layer of assessment. OKX is implementing another questionnaire aimed at ascertaining the appropriateness of crypto investments for each individual. The exchange’s stringent policy is that users who are unable to pass these evaluations or demonstrate adequate risk understanding will not retain their accounts.

These steps are in direct response to the FCA’s impending regulations, effective January 8th. The UK’s cryptocurrency market has seen significant regulatory shifts. Consequently, other exchanges, like Binance, have already made <a href="https://coingape.com/fca-restricts-binance-uk-partner-for-financial-promotions/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">adjustments</a>, including halting new UK user registrations as of October 16th.
Additionally, OKX is proactively adapting its services. The exchange is reducing its digital asset offerings to about 40 tokens. It also incorporating prominent risk warnings in its user interface. This <a href="https://coingape.com/uk-fca-cracks-down-on-unregistered-crypto-firms/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">approach</a> is part of a larger trend of regulatory caution prevalent among crypto exchanges globally.

This move includes the <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-exchange-okx-delists-major-privacy-tokens-from-the-platform/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">delisting</a> of several privacy-focused tokens last week. Such changes reflect a growing trend of regulatory compliance and risk management in the cryptocurrency exchange sector.
