Prime Factor Capital Licensed by the FCA
The Financial Conduct Authority, a finance watchdog that’s known for their resiliency, has approved its first even cryptocurrency-focused investment fund. Prime Factor Capital, the Crypto Management Firm in London now holds a full-scale license from the FCA.
This marks the first time that the Financial Conduct Authority has approved a cryptocurrency hedge fund. Prime Factor Capital will now have to follow and obey the regulation guidelines implemented by not only the FCA but by also the European Securities and Markets Authority. The management firm will be able to maintain 100 Million Euros in its hedge account at all times with this license.
The Chief Operating Officer with Prime Factor Capital, Adam Grimsley, spoke with the Bloomberg report and stated: “Most vehicles for investing in cryptocurrencies are outside the scope of regulators and that’s a big problem in a market that has such a bad reputation.”
