Bank of England Clarifies Temporary Nature of Stablecoin Restrictions Amid Market Optimism

The Bank of England has moved to allay industry fears by confirming its proposed limits on stablecoin holdings and transaction sizes are temporary measures. Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden emphasized the transitional nature of these restrictions during DC Fintech Week, framing them as necessary safeguards during financial system adaptation to blockchain technology.

Market sentiment improved following the clarification, with BlockchainFX price predictions reflecting renewed optimism. The regulatory certainty comes as investors continue seeking high-growth opportunities, with DeepSnitch AI's presale raising over $423,000 amid speculation it could mirror Dash's historic 22,000% returns.

Industry pushback against the original November 2023 proposal had warned of stifled innovation and damage to Britain's crypto-friendly reputation. The central bank's reassurance appears to have struck a balance between systemic stability and technological progress.
