IG expanded UK crypto access with more than 50 additional digital assets, bringing its total offering above 100 tokens. The rollout follows regulatory approval for its crypto business and introduces swaps, advanced charting features, and upcoming wallet transfer support. IG Expands UK Crypto Access After FCA Registration The London-based trading platform IG announced on May the expansion of its crypto platform following successful FCA registration for its crypto services.
Additional Insights: IG’s expansion to 100+ digital assets is a signal that regulated, established brokers are increasingly willing to compete directly with native crypto exchanges — a dynamic that could meaningfully shift where retail investors in the UK choose to trade. With FCA registration now in hand, IG has a compliance advantage over offshore platforms that still lack equivalent standing in the UK market. The addition of swaps and advanced charting also suggests IG is targeting active traders, not just buy-and-hold investors, which broadens the competitive pressure on platforms like Coinbase and Kraken in one of Europe’s most important crypto markets.
