Thomas Cattee, Partner at Gherson Solicitors LLP, has authored an article for Law360 examining the Bank of England’s recent decision to soften elements of its proposed framework for sterling-backed stablecoins.
The article explores how the revised approach may support growth in the UK’s digital asset sector while maintaining appropriate safeguards for financial stability. It also considers the potential impact on stablecoin issuers, fintech businesses and the UK’s wider competitiveness in the global digital asset market.
