Crypto exchange-traded note permission questions
The company was reported to have allowed UK retail customers to purchase crypto exchange-traded notes after the FCA changed its retail-access rules but before Trading 212 had secured the relevant permission. It subsequently applied for permission, and its regulatory-register status was updated.

The restrictions led to customer complaints and later Financial Ombudsman Service decisions concerning the platform's handling of affected orders.
