UK Eases Stablecoin Rules
The Bank of England has released its updated stablecoin framework, introducing more flexible requirements after industry consultations. Regulators dropped plans to limit individual holdings and instead imposed a £40 billion issuance cap for a single systemically important stablecoin. The new rules also allow issuers to hold up to 70% of reserves in short-term government debt.
Industry participants believe the changes could encourage innovation and support broader adoption of stablecoins in payments and financial services. While the framework is more flexible, the Bank of England continues to prioritize financial stability and consumer protection.
