IG Group gets FCA license: Revolution started in crypto trading!
IG Group has received a license for crypto-assets from the British financial supervisory authority FCA. This makes the company the first company listed on the stock exchange in the United Kingdom to be included in the FCA's crypto-asset register. The license was granted on September 30, 2025 to IG Digital Assets Limited, which is an important step for the company.
This development follows the introduction of a crypto trade solution by IG Group in June 2025. According to reports, the FCA has reported its registration process for crypto-asset companies, which gives more companies the opportunity to work in this aspiring market.
Crypto trade offer from IG Group
With the license received, IG customers can now trade cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (Sol) on the IG app. The trading platform enables a web trade with 24/7 access to more than 35 cryptocurrencies.
The approval of the FCA allows IG to offer direct trade in digital assets on its platform, including crypto transfers and other functions. To support his crypto services, IG has a partnership with Uphold, an FCA-registered crypto exchange.
The existing crypto customers are automatically migrated to the IG app after the license has been approved. This makes access and use of the new functions considerably easier for customers.
Competition on the British market
There are already numerous platforms on the British market that offer crypto access for customers. This includes companies such as Gemini, Bitstamp, Etoro and Revolut. The competition in this area is increasing because more and more providers are expanding their services and offering new functions to their users.
The progress that IG Group is doing with licensing and introducing new trade solutions could be the key to success in a dynamic and fast -developing market. It remains to be seen how other companies will react to this development.
Crypto.news reports that IG Group has taken the first step into a promising future in the crypto sector with the licensing.
