Bank of England Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden emphasized during the SALT Conference in London that the U.K. and U.S. should strengthen regulatory cooperation on systemic stablecoins — digital assets with high usage across the financial sector.
Breeden noted that stablecoins are becoming an integral part of payment systems and stressed that “ensuring these assets are safe, transparent, and stable requires global coordination.”
She highlighted the importance of adopting a regulatory approach that supports innovation while managing systemic risks.
Analysts view her comments as a potential signal of closer alignment between the Bank of England and the U.S. Federal Reserve on setting common standards for stablecoin regulation.
