In this episode of the Insights Podcast, Jack Robertson speaks with Gabriel Lakeman and Christian McDermott of Latham & Watkins about the emerging regulatory framework for stablecoins in the UK. They discuss how stablecoins differ from other cryptoassets, the Bank of England's consultation on sterling-denominated systemic stablecoins, and what key regulatory developments firms should be watching for in 2026. They also explore the practical steps companies should be taking now to prepare as UK and EU regulatory expectations around backing requirements, holding limits, and authorisation become clearer.
