The bank warned that crypto price volatility could expose users to debts they may be unable to manage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"911\">The bank also pointed out that digital assets do not fall under UK financial safeguards, and affected customers would have limited recourse if a transaction goes wrong.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"911\">It explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"911\">&#8220;We\u2019re doing this because a fall in the price of crypto assets could lead to customers finding themselves in debt they can\u2019t afford to repay. There's also no protection for crypto assets if something goes wrong with a purchase, as they're not covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service and Financial Services Compensation Scheme.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"911\">This move echoes broader regulatory discussions in the UK, with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) recently exploring ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/fca-aims-to-curb-risky-crypto-lending-and-credit-purchases-to-protect-uk-investors\/\">restrict crypto purchases made with borrowed funds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"911\">The regulator has highlighted the risks associated with leveraging credit to invest in high-volatility assets, particularly for inexperienced retail investors.<\/p>\n<p>Barclays\u2019 decision, however, arrives just months after the bank <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/insights\/canadian-and-uk-banks-invest-over-280-million-in-bitcoin-etfs\/\">disclosed a $131 million stake<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/blackrock\/\">BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)<\/a>. This investment places Barclays among the growing list of institutions gaining exposure to spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1829\">Meanwhile, the contrast between limiting customer access and expanding its crypto holdings points to an emerging divide in how traditional financial institutions approach the crypto sector.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"2128\">While the new policy may protect users from risky borrowing practices, it could also encourage investors to use non-traditional platforms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"2128\">Considering this, industry analysts predict a growing demand for alternative on-ramps, such as fintech applications and decentralized services that bypass conventional banking systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barclays bank has announced it will block customers from using Barclaycard credit cards to buy crypto starting June 27 The move was quietly confirmed in a newly updated FAQ section on the bank\u2019s official website.
