💐Bank of England Proposes Caps on Stablecoin Ownership❣️
The BoE is considering limits on how much individuals and businesses can hold in systemic stablecoins — proposed caps around £10,000-£20,000 for individuals, and up to ~£10 million for businesses. The rationale is financial stability and to prevent stablecoins from displacing bank deposits. Industry players argue it could hamper adoption and innovation.
3 Key Takeaways:
Caps could change how people use stablecoins — less for large value storage, more for transactions.
Enforcement may become complex (wallet tracing, identity systems).
If other jurisdictions remain more open, UK could lose competitive advantage.
