Simon Taylor, co-founder at 11:FS, reports that the Bank of England is reconsidering its approach to stablecoin reserve requirements. The original framework would have required issuers to hold 40% of reserves at the central bank with zero interest, while individuals and businesses would each face caps of £20,000 and £10 million, respectively.
Both aspects of the proposal are now under further review.
In previous updates, Taylor challenged the idea that stablecoins offer advantages purely because of lower transaction fees. He also noted a legislative compromise via the CLARITY Act that banned passive yields on stablecoins. Both posts reflect ongoing regulatory developments surrounding the asset class.
