The UK Financial Association Outlook for 2026: Crypto Regulation Directions, Stablecoins Positioned as a Focus

2025-12-29 03:41:59

Deep潮 TechFlow News, December 29th, the UK Finance recently released a report reviewing the development of crypto regulation in 2025 and looking ahead to policy trends in 2026. The report points out that the UK regulatory framework is seeking a balance between the US and EU models, with a focus on the positioning and regulation of stablecoins.

Currently, regulators are gradually viewing stablecoins as payment tools rather than investment products, and this classification is crucial for targeted regulation. The report raises key questions: regulatory differences between GBP stablecoins and non-GBP stablecoins may lead issuers to move overseas, affecting the UK’s control over financial policy.

2026 will be a critical year. The UK needs to address issues such as multi-currency stablecoin risk management, fair competition between fintech and traditional institutions, and determine how stablecoin payments will integrate with traditional payment systems. The UK government must clarify the gap between political direction and regulatory details to maintain London’s status as an international financial center.
