Huoxun Finance News, January 15th - According to Bloomberg, Bank of England Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden stated that the UK may need to provide a similar guarantee mechanism for stablecoin deposits as for bank deposits. Ramsden pointed out that the central bank is considering how to maintain public confidence in the currency should a systemically important stablecoin collapse. He suggested that long-term trust in stablecoins might require establishing a scheme similar to bank deposit insurance, and ensuring stablecoin holders have priority as creditors in bankruptcy proceedings within statutory liquidation arrangements. Ramsden's remarks indicate that the Bank of England may extend its current protections for bank deposits to widely used stablecoins. The Bank of England has already raised the protection limit for UK citizens' term cash deposits from £85,000 to £120,000 to prevent bank failures. The Bank of England plans to implement stablecoin regulatory rules by the end of the year.
