PayPal Holdings Inc. successfully acquired its crypto license in the United Kingdom after suspending Bitcoin purchases for a short time. The financial technology company received permission from the country's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) this week.
PayPal's license comes amid the tightening regulations in the U.K., initially leading the company to halt Bitcoin on its platform. Based on the FCA's data, the company is now registered for certain cryptoasset activities. This means the restriction on PayPal for some of its financial services has been lifted, so it can now operate for activities including crypto-related in the U.K.
Some Details of PayPal's Approved Operation in the U.K.
According to CoinTelegraph, it was also stated in Paypal's FCA registration that the allowed services that come with the license include but are not limited to "ceasing onboarding new customers and restricting existing customers to hold and sell functionality."
Then again, the FCA noted that despite having the license, one of the restrictions is that PayPal cannot expand its current services in crypto assets. The company may only offer crypto services that are currently available when it was granted the permit to operate.
With the license, PayPal is now the fourth company to be granted the FCA's crypto registration license this year. The first three organizations are Bitstamp, Komainu, and Interactive Brokers.
Customers' Transfer to New Entity
It was in 2021 when PayPal first launched its crypto buying and selling services for U.K. customers. Still, in August this year, the firm said it would suspend this offering starting Oct. 1 and resume in 2024. It appears that the resumption is happening earlier than initially announced, as the license is already here.
PayPal shared the FCA approved the company as an authorized electronic money institution and consumer credit firm and a crypto asset business. Meanwhile, Reuters reported that the approvals also mean that starting Nov. 1, all of PayPal's customers in the U.K. will be transferred to a new entity based in Britain - from PayPal Europe.
