FCA Providing Aid To Bank of England

According to reports, the Bank of England proclaimed that it is setting its sights on regulating stablecoins by overseeing systematic stablecoins and their issuers. Moreover, the Bank of England mandated the FCA to crack down on the regulation of stablecoin providers within the crypto sector.

The aforementioned decision comes in alignment with the United Kingdom’s aim to introduce a proper legislation framework for fiat-backed stablecoins by the beginning of the next year.

Furthermore, the FCA also plans to introduce a new regulatory measure for fiat-backed stablecoins that are pegged to traditional currencies, such as the USD or euro, by next year.
