Promote with Leviathan NewsUK's Financial Services Regulation Committee urged the Bank of England to scrap its proposed £20K individual and £10M business stablecoin holding caps and 40% unremunerated central-bank backing requirement, calling them premature and a viability threat to issuers. The cross-party committee's "Stablecoins: waiting for regulation" report argues the BoE should monitor markets instead of pre-emptively gating access, piling fresh political pressure on Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden's framework as the UK races to keep pace with EU and US stablecoin rules.
