submitting new applications, the Financial Conduct Authority said on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-1\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__large__nEccO body__full_width__ekUdw body__large_body__FV5_X article-body-v2__element__23wZV\">The FCA has been criticised by lawmakers and the crypto sector for being slow in processing licence applications and for rejecting swathes of applicants despite the UK government&#8217;s push to make London a global crypto hub.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-2\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe

crypto firms still seeking to get licences here in the UK even though some have been denied those licences at the first pass,&#8221; FCA executive director for competition and consumers Sheldon Mills told a City &amp; Financial conference.<\/p>\n<div class=\"registration-prompt-v2__container__1mRPg registration-prompt-v2__inline__1JoxF article-body-v2__element__23wZV

because Britain and the FCA were &#8220;not very keen&#8221; to see any crypto companies in London.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-10\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__large__nEccO body__full_width__ekUdw body__large_body__FV5_X article-body-v2__element__23wZV\">Mognetti said the European Union&#8217;s new set of &#8216;MiCA&#8217; rules

text__large__nEccO body__full_width__ekUdw body__large_body__FV5_X article-body-v2__element__23wZV\">&#8220;If you talk about attractiveness from a regulated activity [perspective], the fact that
