Regulatory framing — United Kingdom

UK FCA Travel Rule £1,000 threshold. DOGE's clean regulatory profile + payment-rail design + 1-min block time make UK-merchant-accepting-DOGE scenarios practically relevant; UK merchants accepting DOGE create CGT-disposal events for spending users. Self-custody-to-self-custody outside Travel Rule. Spousal transfer EXEMPT (TCGA 1992 s.58).

Primary regulators: FCA · HMRC
