UK's FCA Seeks Views on Stablecoins, Crypto Custody to Prevent Firm Failure
- In 2025, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority plans to gather input on proposed regulations for stablecoins and the custody of cryptocurrencies aimed at preventing failures among crypto firms.
- This effort comes in response to the 2022 failure of terraUSD, an algorithmic stablecoin, which led to investor losses and motivated regulators to strengthen their supervision of the sector.
- The FCA’s proposals require regulated firms to maintain stablecoin value through transparent asset backing and secure custody, aiming to support a safe and innovative sector.
- Sarah Breeden of the Bank of England said a complementary consultation will address systemic stablecoins and industry feedback on allowing returns on backing assets later this year.
- The FCA intends to publish final regulations in 2026 and is coordinating with the Bank of England to establish clear guidelines and uphold integrity within the UK's developing stablecoin framework.
