UK Crypto Rulebook Cuts Stablecoin Capital Requirement To 1%

The UK Financial Conduct Authority finalised its crypto rulebook, reducing the stablecoin issuance capital requirement from 2% to 1%. The broader crypto regulations are set to take effect in October 2027, requiring firms like trading platforms and stablecoin issuers to obtain authorisation. The move aims to balance market accessibility with robust consumer protections.
