According to Jason Keogh, strict UK crypto regulations are urging institutional clients to look for offshore routes for exposure to digital assets. Speaking at IFX Expo International 2025, Keogh said many UK-based companies face fusion capital through entities registered in more flexible jurisdictions.
UK regulations
“Due to the UK’s UH regulations situation, in difficult situations, clients from many agencies can face us through St. Lucia, Canada when they face us to go to offshore entities and promote Crypto.

Fusion Capital itself is affiliated with FCA-regulated custodian Archax, providing institution-only digital assets liquidity, but increasing demand from brokers and asset managers operating through a non-KUK regulatory framework.
MICA Regulations Outlook
Keogh added that clearer and kinder rules are key to unlocking institutional adoption in the country. He pointed to future MICA regulations in Europe as a potential turning point.
“It doesn’t matter if you like it or what asset class it is, you need to have regulations, it must be good regulations. And then Mica comes in and it takes the crypto world to the next level.”
“That’s a good thing. It gives clients comfort, higher regulations, so I think we’ll be on hold at the moment until it’s fully implemented. But when it starts soon, I think you’ll see a really big UH ingestion going.”
