In a recent announcement, the Financial Services Regulatory Committee of the UK House of Lords has initiated a new investigation into the growth of stablecoins in the UK and proposed regulatory frameworks. They are soliciting written evidence from various sectors, with a deadline of March 11, 2026.
The investigation, led by committee chair Baroness Noakes, aims to assess the potential impact of stablecoins on the UK financial services industry and macroeconomy. Key topics include the expected development of the GBP stablecoin market, a comparison with regulatory systems in the US and Europe, and whether the proposed frameworks by the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) balance international competitiveness and consumer protection. The investigation will also examine whether stablecoins could impact monetary policy implementation and traditional financial intermediaries.
