Bitget relaunches UK platform after compliance update with FCA rules

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has relaunched its application in the United Kingdom after temporarily restricting access to comply with local laws.

The exchange confirmed on Nov. 12 that it has reactivated its UK website, now in full compliance with the financial promotions regime, Bitget told Cointelegraph.

The relaunch comes a few months after Bitget restricted its website in the UK in accordance with the financial promotions regime in May.

“Bitget has been monitoring the new Financial Promotions regime and decided to temporarily suspend accepting new customers until we have recalibrated our UK website to ensure we comply with the new regime,” a spokesperson for Bitget told Cointelegraph.

Bitget’s app relaunch in the UK is enabled through Archax approval for Financial Promotions and promotion in the UK.

“Archax is an independent Financial Promotions and Marketing reviewer authorized by the FCA to review content to ensure it is compliant with FCA Financial Promotions requirements,” Bitget stated.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
