The Bank of England has announced it will align its stable‑coin regulatory framework with the United States, aiming for synchronised oversight of digital assets. The initiative seeks to prevent regulatory fragmentation and foster cross‑border consistency amid rising institutional interest in crypto. The UK regulator indicated proposed measures may include holding limits for stable‑coins and stricter governance rules, responding to industry concerns over competitiveness vs other jurisdictions. The move is seen as positive for global digital‑asset infrastructure, but execution remains critical.
