🚹 BREAKING: The U.K. 🇬🇧 is proposing a £20,000 cap on individual holdings of “systemic” sterling stablecoins.

Here’s what you need to know:

💰 Retail Limits: Individuals may only hold up to £20K per stablecoin classified as systemic.

🏱 Business Limits: Standard caps around £10M, with potential exemptions.

⚖ Scope: Applies to widely-used sterling stablecoins, not all digital assets.

đŸ›Ąïž Goal: Protect financial stability while allowing everyday payments.

💡 Why it matters:

One of the first major attempts to limit stablecoin holdings per person.

Signals that certain stablecoins are being treated like money-like instruments, similar to bank deposits.

Could impact UK users, fintechs, and cross-chain stablecoin activity.

📊 BoE Insight: The cap is designed so most users can still receive a regular salary and hold their usual balances.

The proposal is in consultation—not yet law. This is a critical development for anyone using stablecoins in the UK or building on UK-based crypto infrastructure.
