最新报道:The Bank of England has imposed limits on stablecoin holdings, a move critics argue hinders the UK's competitiveness in digital finance. Unlike the US, where dollar-backed stablecoins like USDC and Tether bolster Treasury liquidity and dollar dominance, the UK lacks a comparable pound-backed stablecoin. Regulatory barriers have stifled development, risking London's status as other hubs adopt pro-growth rules. Critics warn that restricting stablecoins—which enhance payment efficiency and could lower borrowing costs—weakens the pound's global relevance and reflects broader governance issues where unelected officials shape monetary policy without sufficient oversight. The UK must reform its framework to avoid the pound becoming a secondary currency in the digital economy.
