So I’ve just had to re-log in to my Bitget and at the top of the sign in page was a warning label that they are currently working on making changes to fit the UK’s new FCA rules (I hate them so much, lets rich people participate but not regular people). It had a little warning ⚠️ triangle next to it so clearly an important announcement
Other than a May news announcement from them saying no more UK accounts can be onboarded until they’ve updated with the new version for UK, I cannot find any info about this whatsoever. I use a Vietnam vpn which is designates my location as but my ID verification is UK obviously
I’m worried like Binance and ByBit they are going to stop letting UK users access futures – this would be the last possible place for people in the UK to access crypto futures, meaningful leverage, and futures for a broad variety of blue chip coins/alt coins/hot meme coins
I’m worried it’ll also be rather abrupt too like all of sudden in September/October no more access for UK users instead something like until early 2025. Advice on this? Anyone know anything? I am yet to find a defi exchange where I can do the same extent of futures trading that Binance/ByBit/Bitget offer (that also has adequate liquidity)
Feel like I’m about to get kicked off the last remaining place to meaningfully trade crypto futures right before a crazy 2025
