BOE To Soften Stablecoin Cap Plans Amid Industry Pushback: Report

The post BOE To Soften Stablecoin Cap Plans Amid Industry Pushback: Report appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Bank of England (BoE) appears to be softening its stance on proposed limits to corporate stablecoin holdings, with plans to introduce exemptions for companies that may need to maintain larger reserves of fiat-pegged assets, according to a Bloomberg report published Tuesday. Citing people familiar with the discussions, Bloomberg reported that the BOE’s reconsideration comes amid intense industry backlash and growing international competition, particularly from the United States, which is moving toward clearer regulation through the GENIUS Act, which was signed into law in July. The BoE had initially proposed caps on stablecoin holdings — 20,000 pounds (about $27,000) for individuals and 10 million pounds for companies — citing concerns over systemic risks posed by widely used tokens such as USDt (USDT) and USDC (USDC). The restrictions were intended to help the central bank maintain control over the money supply, protect consumers and prevent excessive reliance on privately issued digital currencies. While those limits may be workable for traditional businesses, crypto-native companies may argue that such caps would constrain their operations, given their need to hold substantial stablecoin reserves for trading and liquidity management.

However, in remarks last week, Bailey struck a more conciliatory tone, acknowledging that stablecoins may represent a useful innovation capable of coexisting within the broader financial system. The BOE’s evolving stance highlights the UK’s ongoing effort to balance financial stability with competitiveness in the fast-growing stablecoin sector. In this area, some critics say the country…

Ethereum DATs are the next Berkshire Hathaway: Consensys founder

                                                                               Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin believes ETH-based digital asset treasuries will become a “Berkshire Hathaway-style” vehicle for the decentralized economy.                     Inspired by Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin playbook, Joseph Lubin believes Ethereum treasury companies could provide outsized returns on yield and investment opportunities to their Bitcoin counterparts.Speaking exclusively to Cointelegraph at Token2049 in Singapore, the Ethereum co-founder unpacked his thesis for why Ether (ETH) digital asset treasuries (DATs) present superior opportunities to the Bitcoin (BTC) treasury movement popularized by Saylor’s Strategy Bitcoin play.“I’d much rather have something that potentially has more impact. It certainly is as solid as Bitcoin, and I would argue more solid because of the functionality and the organic demand for it to pay for transactions and storage,” Lubin said.Read more
