According to CoinDesk, the UK House of Lords Financial Services Regulatory Committee has called on the Bank of England to reconsider the proposed limits on stablecoin holdings in its latest report. The committee suggested that rather than imposing a holding cap in advance, it would be better to monitor market growth and only implement restrictions when financial stability risks clearly necessitate it. The Bank of England had previously proposed a holding limit of £20,000 for individuals and £10 million for businesses for each stablecoin. The report also questioned the rules on reserve assets, stating that this could have a significant impact on the commercial viability of UK stablecoin issuers. The Deputy Governor of the Bank of England acknowledged last month that the proposed holding limits and reserve requirements were "too conservative" and stated that they are exploring other ways to manage the risks associated with stablecoins.
