[Bank of England Deputy Governor: Stablecoins May Accelerate Cross-Border Payments] Bank of England Deputy Governor Broadbent stated that stablecoins, as a form of digital currency, are gradually moving toward the mainstream, with the potential to enable faster and lower-cost cross-border payment settlements and support tokenized securities trading. She anticipates the formation of a "multi-currency" system that includes stablecoins in the future. The Bank of England plans to launch a consultation on stablecoin regulatory frameworks later this year and to ease its previously considered overly stringent regulatory stance.
