Bank of England Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden said the new rules will arrive \u201cjust as quickly\u201d as those in the U.S., and that the framework will focus first on stablecoins that are expected to be used widely for payments.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Under the proposal, there will be temporary limits on how much stablecoin individuals and businesses can hold. Bloomberg reported that these caps may be around \u00a320,000 for individuals and \u00a310 million for companies. <\/p>\n<p>Officials say the limits are meant to prevent sudden movements of deposits out of banks and into stablecoins, a risk that matters more in the UK because of how mortgages are funded through bank balance sheets.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping pace with global regulation<\/h2>\n<p>This comes as the UK pushes to stay competitive in financial innovation. The Financial Conduct Authority recently allowed crypto exchange trade notes to return for retail investors, and the government has stated that tokenized finance will play a role in the future of London\u2019s markets. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, lawmakers are working on a broader crypto rulebook that will cover exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and staking services by 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The U.K. is effectively trying to keep pace with the U.S., Europe under Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, and Hong Kong\u2019s licensing approach. The decisions made in this consultation period could<strong> <\/strong>influence where firms choose to launch payment products and tokenized asset platforms over the next few years.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK is preparing to set clearer rules for stablecoins in an effort to stay aligned with global regulatory developments.\u00a0 Summary Bank of England will release a detailed UK stablecoin&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10933,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15320"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15321,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15320\/revisions\/15321"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
