A cross-party group of UK lawmakers has called for pro-innovation **stablecoin regulation**, warning that current rules could trigger capital flight and weaken London’s financial edge. They cited $27.6 trillion in stablecoin transactions in 2024, projected to hit $100 trillion by 2030. Proposed caps and restrictions, they argue, could push investors toward dollar-backed assets, bypassing pound-pegged options. The lawmakers also emphasized the need for clarity on **capital gains tax** to support a competitive digital asset environment.
