According to @AltcoinGordon, the Bank of England wants to cap individual stablecoin holdings at GBP 10,000–20,000 per person on systemic risk grounds (source: @AltcoinGordon on X, Sep 15, 2025). Verified public papers show the GBP 10,000–20,000 figure was proposed as an illustrative holding limit for a potential retail CBDC (the digital pound), not for privately issued stablecoins (source: Bank of England and HM Treasury, The digital pound: a new form of money, Consultation Paper, Feb 2023).
