GlobalBlock, part of GCEX Group, has launched its digital assets offering for UK clients, providing access to crypto services with institutional-grade support and robust controls. The company’s UK cryptoasset financial promotions have been approved by Archax, the regulated digital assets platform, under the FCA’s cryptoasset financial promotions regime. This approval complements GCEX Group’s existing licences, including FCA authorisation for FX and CFDs, a MiCA licence for crypto-asset services across the EU, and a Virtual Asset Service Provider licence in Dubai.

Available via globalblock.co.uk, the offering includes OTC execution, portfolio solutions for eligible clients, and cryptoasset settlement and invoicing tools for businesses. It is supported by GCEX Group’s institutional infrastructure, liquidity and global counterparty relationships. The launch marks a significant step in GlobalBlock’s integration into the GCEX Group ecosystem following its acquisition in September 2025, and reflects the Group’s strategy to serve high-net-worth individuals, family offices, asset managers and corporates seeking professional access to digital assets.
