British Cross-Party Parliamentarians’ Alliance recently wrote to Chancellor Rishi Sunak, urging the government to amend the current stablecoin regulatory draft to avoid stifling innovation and prevent capital outflows. The letter was signed by several prominent MPs and nobles, including Sir Gavin Williamson, Viscount Camrose, and Baroness Wilma, directly criticizing the Bank of England’s current regulatory proposal as “potentially overly restrictive.”

The parliamentarians emphasized that stablecoins have become a vital infrastructure of the digital economy, playing an increasingly critical role in the global financial system. In 2024, stablecoin trading volume reached $27.6 trillion, surpassing the total of Visa and MasterCard transactions, and is expected to break through $100 trillion before 2030. They believe stablecoins are reshaping the way payments, settlements, and cross-border finance operate, and are also the core driving force for future financial inclusion and efficiency improvements.

However, the draft regulatory framework introduced by the Bank of England is viewed by MPs as a significant hidden threat to the UK’s competitiveness. The draft includes prohibitions on reserve interest payments, restrictions on stablecoin use in wholesale markets, and a cap of £20,000 on individual holdings. The MPs warn that these restrictions will severely weaken the attractiveness of the pound stablecoin, forcing market capital to shift toward dollar stablecoins (such as USDT, USDC), creating a “dollar-dominated on-chain dual market” outside UK regulation.

Meanwhile, the US is advancing the 《GENIUS Act》 to create clearer regulations for digital assets, while the UK’s slower policy pace may weaken London’s position as a global fintech hub. The letter pointed out that if the UK cannot develop a more forward-looking stablecoin framework in time, it will miss the opportunity to lead the next wave of financial innovation.

The MPs called on the government to take swift action to establish a regulatory system that is friendly to the industry and encourages investment, ensuring the UK continues to maintain its fintech advantages. “We welcome your commitment to making the UK a leading global destination for digital assets, and now is the time to turn that commitment into action,” the letter stated.
