The post Bank of England ready to water down ‘overly conservative’ stablecoin proposals: FT appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Bank of England (BOE) is set to ease proposed restrictions on stablecoin holdings following pressure from digital asset industry participants, the Financial Times (FT) reported on Thursday.

That deadline has turned the middle of each month into a predictable window of demand. Investors buy STRC ahead of the cutoff, driving up its trading volume, and the stock moves back toward its $100 par value.
