Cryptocurrency groups and industry associations are opposing proposals by the Bank of England that would cap individual holdings of systemically important stablecoins, suggesting limits between £10,000-£20,000 per person, and up to £10 million for businesses.

They also raise compliance cost concerns, especially around verification and enforcement. The debate reflects tension between financial stability and fostering growth in digital asset markets.
