As the market is growing, more and more consumers are able to use crypto in real life situations, either as an investment or as an actual payment method. Moreover, UK regulators react to the trends accordingly. From 2020, the FCA became the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing supervisor of UK cryptoasset businesses. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sheldon-mills-3664562\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sheldon Mills<\/a>, FCA\u2019s executive director, admits that the sector is growing fast and he wants the customers to understand it as well as possible, for their own security.<br \/>\n<strong>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/fintech-security-standards-and-requirements\/\">FinTech regulations<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <svg class=\"wave\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"280\" height=\"9\" viewBox=\"0 0 280 9\">\n    <path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0 3.6c2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.824-1.515C7.724 1.108 9.879 0 13.998 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.175 2.085 1.644.847 2.943 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.179-.668 5.824-1.515C35.72 1.108 37.874 0 41.995 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.824 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515C63.719 1.108 65.873 0 69.993 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.825-1.515C91.715 1.108 93.87 0 97.99 0c4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.178-.668 5.824-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.173-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515 1.9-.977 4.055-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.88 0 4.179-.668 5.824-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.175 2.085 1.646.847 2.946 1.515 5.826 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.881 0 4.18-.668 5.827-1.515 1.9-.977 4.056-2.085 8.176-2.085 4.121 0 6.276 1.108 8.177 2.085 1.646.847 2.946 1.515 5.827 1.515s4.181-.668 5.828-1.515C259.718 1.108 261.873 0 265.995 0c4.121 0 6.275 1.108 8.177 2.084 1.645.848 2.946 1.516 5.828 1.516V9h-.007l-5.252-.793c-1.129-.382-2.056-.848-2.919-1.291-1.646-.847-2.946-1.516-5.827-1.516-2.882 0-4.183.669-5.829 1.516-1.9.977-4.056 2.084-8.177 2.084-4.12 0-6.275-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.647-.847-2.947-1.516-5.828-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.827 1.516-1.9.977-4.055 2.084-8.176 2.084-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.175-2.084-1.645-.847-2.944-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.18.669-5.826 1.516c-1.9.977-4.055 2.084-8.175 2.084-4.12 0-6.275-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.644-.847-2.945-1.516-5.825-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.825 1.516-1.9.977-4.054 2.084-8.174 2.084-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.644-.847-2.943-1.516-5.823-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.826 1.516-1.9.977-4.054 2.084-8.175 2.084-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.646-.847-2.946-1.516-5.825-1.516s-4.179.669-5.824 1.516c-1.9.977-4.053 2.084-8.173 2.084s-6.273-1.107-8.173-2.084c-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516-2.88 0-4.179.669-5.824 1.516C90.265 7.893 88.11 9 83.99 9c-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.173-2.084-1.645-.847-2.944-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.18.669-5.825 1.516C62.268 7.893 60.113 9 55.993 9c-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.825 1.516C34.27 7.893 32.116 9 27.996 9c-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.179.669-5.824 1.516C7.311 7.359 1.127 8.618 0 9\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<article\n    id=\"fintech-news-block-block_60d9cbca6755d\"\n    class=\"fintech-news-block block \"\n>\n    <h1 class=\"fintech-news-block-title\">Open payments firm Volt raises $23.5m in a funding round led by EQT Ventures<\/h1>\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"column tablet-4 fintech-news-block-image-column\">\n          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"209\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/volt-logo.svg\" class=\"attachment-case-study-thumbnail size-case-study-thumbnail\" alt=\"Open payments firm Volt raises $23.5m in a funding round led by EQT Ventures\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"column tablet-8\">\n          <h2 class=\"fintech-news-block-subtitle\">A giant success of a fast growing company<\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fintech-news-block-content\">\n        <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.volt.io\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Volt <\/a>\u2014 the leading open payments gateway, has raised a $23.5 million Series A to fund expansion into new territories and build out its global instant payments footprint.
