The post BOE Deputy Governor Says UK Stablecoin Rules Will Arrive ‘As Quickly as the US’ appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The UK is racing to catch up with the US as global competition to regulate stablecoins has been heating up. While the US’ Genius Act has fueled massive interest for stablecoins worldwide, the UK is also working to finalize its own framework by the end of next year.

BOE Targets Systemic Stablecoins

According to a report from Bloomberg, Bank of England Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden said the UK will have its stablecoin rules ready “as quickly as the US,” pushing back on claims that it is lagging behind.

Breeden also confirmed that the BoE is ready to release its stablecoin consultation paper on November 10. According to Reuters, the BOE’s proposal will only apply to “systemic” stablecoins, which could widely be used for payments. Other stablecoins will fall under the Financial Conduct Authority’s supervision, under a less stringent regime.

Speaking at the SALT conference in London, Breeden said she has been in talks with the US Federal Reserve and that both countries’ regulators and finance ministries are working together.

Breeden also dismissed the concerns that the UK is falling behind after the Trump administration’s Genius Act boosted US momentum. “Our aim is to make sure that our regime is up and running, just as quickly as the US,” she said.

The proposal is expected to include temporary limits, £20,000 for individuals and £10 million for businesses, with some exemptions. The BOE hopes to have the new rules in place by the end of next year to keep up with the US.

Why UK Remains Cautious 

Breeden noted the concerns around the UK’s cautious approach stems from its mortgage market, which relies heavily on lending from commercial banks.

She noted that the temporary caps are designed to protect financial stability and will be removed once the BOE is confident that stablecoins will not hurt banks or the mortgage sector.

UK’s Push For Stablecoins

The US’ strong support for stablecoins is pushing other countries to step up for stablecoin regulations.

In September, the US and UK governments launched a joint task force to boost their collaboration on digital assets and capital markets.

Last month, the UK government also revealed plans to appoint a “digital markets champion” to help modernize its financial markets using blockchain. The FCA also recently ended its four-year ban on crypto exchange-traded notes, expanding access beyong professional investors.

Global Momentum Builds for Stablecoin Regulation

Recently Canada also revealed plans to regulate fiat-backed stablecoins, requiring issuers to hold adequate reserves, manage risks, and protect user data.

These moves show how countries around the world are working to build clear and safe rules for stablecoins while balancing innovation with stability.

U.S. Treasury Seeks Public Input on Game-Changing Stablecoin Regulations

U.S. Treasury Seeks Public Input on Game-Changing Stablecoin Regulations

U.S. Treasury invites feedback on groundbreaking stablecoin regulations under GENIUS. Key questions around stablecoin tax treatment and foreign issuer rules. Treasury explores marketing restrictions, oversight balance, and AML enforcement options. The U.S. Treasury Department is now inviting public feedback on the implementation of the groundbreaking GENIUS Act, the first piece of crypto-specific legislation passed in the U.S. this summer. The new law is a milestone in terms of regulation of stablecoins, as the Treasury is aiming to balance the need to innovate and the aim of protecting consumers and monetary stability. According to Treasury officials, the GENIUS Act is designed to stimulate the growth of payment stablecoins while addressing potential risks related to illicit financial activities and maintaining overall economic stability. The department especially shows interest in the acquisition of data that could assist in refining the regulatory guidelines as it proceeds with the writing of its formal proposal. The commenting is active through the October 20 deadline, which gives both opponents and players in the industry time to express their views. One of the most pressing questions under consideration is how the IRS will handle the federal income tax treatment of stablecoins. The GENIUS Act does not directly cover this, and there is room to interpret and make decisions by regulation in the future. Also unclear is when and how foreign issuers can be allowed to offer stablecoins in the U.S., and it does not look like there is a timeline involved in making any changes.

These include whether stablecoins should have certain marketing limitations, whether it should be at the state or federal level, and how the current anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions policies will relate to digital assets. Moreover, the Treasury is analyzing how the current regulations, such as the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), are capable of mitigating the risks of digital assets. This is after it was earlier sought to seek the views of people on the detection of illicit use in the digital asset markets. As the Treasury moves toward finalizing the regulations, it is clear that the department aims to craft a robust and flexible framework that can adapt to the evolving landscape of digital currencies. The outcome will have lasting implications for the future of stablecoin regulation in the U.S., shaping the path forward for both domestic and international players in the crypto space.
