IG Digital Assets Limited: FCA regulated?

On the register, but not FCA authorised

This firm is registered with the FCA for anti-money-laundering checks only, which is how cryptoasset firms are registered. That is not authorisation: the FCA does not oversee how it treats customers, and FSCS protection does not apply.

Registered for 1 year
No FCA actions
Active company since 2025

What does this mean?

Some businesses are required by law to have an anti-money-laundering supervisor. For this kind of business that supervisor is the FCA, and the registration is the only reason the firm appears on the FCA register.
What the FCA checks is narrow: that the firm identifies its customers, keeps records, and reports suspicious activity. It is the anti-crime paperwork behind a bank asking you for ID.
It does not check anything about you as a customer. Not whether the firm treats you fairly, not whether it is financially sound, not whether what it sells is any good. The FCA describes firms registered this way as “not authorised or subject to wider FCA regulation”.
So if the firm fails or treats you badly, there is no compensation to fall back on. The FCA's own position is that crypto is largely unregulated in the UK and that compensation for crypto losses is highly unlikely.

Website, phone number and address

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
