The UK Financial Conduct Authority is seeking views on whether exemptions from fund rules should apply to certain tokenized gold products, according to Cointelegraph. The regulator said uncertainty about how some of these products fit within the UK’s fund-rule framework could affect their adoption and investors’ access to them. The consultation concerns products that represent gold in tokenized form, but the available information does not specify which products or exemptions are under review. The FCA’s move highlights an unresolved regulatory question for digital assets linked to the precious metal. Market participants will be watching how the regulator addresses the classification of tokenized gold and whether greater clarity could influence the development and availability of such products in the UK. The announcement was published on September 14, 2026.
