What the law actually says

Is Venice Token trading legal in United Kingdom?

Two separate questions with two different answers. Holding, buying and selling spot cryptoassets is lawful in the UK: Bitcoin, Ether and similar tokens sit outside the FCA's regulatory perimeter as 'unregulated tokens' that are not specified investments or e-money, and they can be traded.

Leveraged crypto derivatives are the opposite case: because derivative contracts referencing cryptoassets fall inside the FCA's perimeter, the FCA was able to ban them outright for retail, and did so with effect from 6 January 2021. That ban still stands.

In August 2025 the FCA lifted its parallel restriction on cryptoasset exchange traded notes so that retail consumers can buy cETNs listed on an FCA-recognised UK investment exchange, but the same announcement stated explicitly that the retail ban on cryptoasset derivatives remains in place.

What the contract is

A perpetual on VVV tracks price and does not confer ownership of the underlying — the same contract mechanics apply in every jurisdiction; what differs by country is legal status and funding rails.
