UK Crypto Rulebook Cuts Stablecoin Capital Requirement To 1%

The FCA has finalised major crypto rules and reduced a key proposed stablecoin capital requirement after industry feedback.

  • The UK's FCA has finalized its crypto rulebook, reducing the capital requirement for stablecoin issuers from 2% to 1% after industry feedback.
  • The new rules, expected to take effect in October 2027, aim to create a supervised market by requiring authorization for various crypto firms, including stablecoin issuers.
  • This adjustment signals a more proportionate approach to regulation, potentially encouraging firms to establish compliant sterling stablecoin models within the UK.
