UK Lords launch stablecoin inquiry as BoE moves to finalize systemic rules
The House of Lords has opened a parliamentary review of stablecoin regulation as the Bank of England prioritises policy on systemic stablecoins and tokenised collateral in 2026.
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].
