The UK’s FCA plans to finalize digital asset rules and advance regulation for sterling stablecoins in 2026, aligning with EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. The FCA will also enable the tokenisation of investment funds. Building on a 2025 consultation, the regulator will progress a stablecoin-specific cohort in the sandbox. Since April 2025, 158 firms have applied for support, with over 200 receiving “minded to approve” signals. The FCA is also strengthening frameworks for Countering the Financing of Terrorism.
