The UK just rolled out a fast-track licensing system aimed at accelerating fintech innovation. This move is designed to cut through red tape and get promising financial technology companies operational faster. Regulators are clearly betting on a streamlined approval process to attract more startups and keep London competitive in the global fintech race. The new framework could be a game-changer for blockchain projects and crypto-adjacent businesses looking for regulatory clarity. Time will tell if this actually speeds things up or just creates a different kind of bottleneck.
