The FCA’s cryptoasset application period closes at 11:59pm on 28 February 2027. The FCA has said it may reject applications that lack the minimum information it asks for, and it will not speed up late ones.

This free briefing sets out, in one place, what the application asks for, mapped to the FCA’s own published application information. You get:

•   The FCA’s latest draft perimeter guidance (CP26/36) in one table: which exclusions exist, and the questions to ask yourself.

•   A master checklist of every application section and supporting document, by business model.

•   An “if it isn’t ready yet” column: what you can work from while each item is in draft, and what must be final before you submit.

•   The 10 tests we apply in our RBP Stress Test, as a self-score you can run tonight.

•   Prudential, wind-down and submission-day checklists.
