Coinbase UK CEO Predicts Stablecoins Will Enter Mainstream Payment Infrastructure by 2026
Stablecoins are poised to become a cornerstone of global finance by 2026, according to Keith Grose, UK CEO of Coinbase. Consumer adoption is accelerating as regulatory frameworks mature, with stablecoins increasingly used for seamless payments without altering existing transaction behaviors.
The Bank of England’s evolving stance on stablecoins is a positive step, but Grose warns the UK risks falling behind without a competitive regulatory regime. London could lead the next monetary revolution—if it acts decisively.
Global investors are diversifying into digital assets, moving away from traditional dollar-denominated instruments. This shift underscores stablecoins’ growing role as both a payment rail and store of value.
