The House of Lords Financial Services Regulation Committee has launched an inquiry into stablecoin regulation and invited submissions with a March 11 deadline, examining whether the Bank of England and Financial Conduct Authority frameworks provide “measured and proportionate responses” to risks from stablecoins [3][1].

Regulators and lawmakers have warned that large-scale stablecoin adoption could drain bank deposits and reshape payments, concerns highlighted in coverage of the parliamentary review [1].

Separately, the Bank of England has signalled it will prioritise policy work on systemic stablecoins and tokenised collateral in 2026 and is preparing a regime for stablecoins and tokenised collateral that could change the UK’s digital financial infrastructure [2][4].

The parliamentary inquiry and the Bank of England’s planned rule-making run concurrently, positioning Parliament to scrutinise whether forthcoming BoE and FCA measures adequately address the systemic risks identified by regulators [3][2][1].
