According to the external media review, the recent continuous adjustment of encryption regulation and currency stabilization rules in the United Kingdom shows that the regulatory layer has begun to promote the encryption industry more seriously. According to the article, the recent moves by the FCA and the Bank of England meant that the United Kingdom was trying to put the goals of the Global Centre for Encrypted Assets into practice.
Control began to sync
The British Financial Conduct Regulatory Authority FCA has finalized the encryption rules last month, covering capital requirements, access disclosures and conduct codes. At the same time, the Bank of England has lifted some of the previous restrictions on the holding of a French moored stable currency and has reduced the issuer ' s reserve requirements at the central bank from 40 per cent to 30 per cent.
The article notes that these changes are seen by industry as important signals. Over the past few years, the United Kingdom has been criticized for being overly cautious in terms of encryption regulation, slow approvals, unclear rules and bank-to-bank restrictions on encrypted transactions, raising the market entry threshold.
The stable currency rules are relaxed.
The author mentions that the currency stabilization programme proposed by the Bank of England last year triggered a strong rebound. The other draft, which sets limits on the size of individual and business holdings, is considered to be detrimental to stabilizing the expansion of the currency in terms of payments, settlements and wages.
The article also compares developments in the EU with those in the United States. The European Union, MiCA, has started with a stable currency, and the United States, through GENIUS Act, has established clearer criteria for reserves, redemption, disclosure and hosting. According to the author, regulatory clarity is becoming the key to local competition for the status of encryption centres.
Still outstanding
Despite recent adjustments being seen as a positive signal, the British digital asset framework is still not fully operational. DeFi guidelines, operational resilience standards for distributed book technology and tax treatment of digital assets still need to be further clarified.
The article concludes that the British encryption industry is awaiting the entry into force of the new authorization system in October 2027. The authors believe that if regulators continue to absorb industry feedback, there is an opportunity for the UK to find a more stable balance between consumer protection and innovation.
