英国政府要求英格兰银行加强数字货币与支付创新
深潮 TechFlow 消息,8 月 27 日,据彭博社报道,英国政府将赋予英格兰银行(BoE)一项新职责,要求其推动数字货币及支付领域的创新发展。英国财政部表示,这项职责将作为英格兰银行的次要目标,仍需服从于其维护金融稳定这一核心使命。此举回应了市场对英国央行在新兴金融技术上态度过于保守的批评。英国首相安迪·伯纳姆将维持伦敦在快速发展的数字资产市场中的竞争力列为重点政策方向。该政策意味着英国监管框架或将更重视在风险控制与金融科技创新之间取得平衡,并可能为数字支付、稳定币及其他数字资产相关业务创造更明确的发展环境。
UK government requires Bank of England to step up digital currency and payments innovation
TechFlow, Aug 27: Bloomberg reports the UK government will give the Bank of England a new duty to promote innovation in digital currency and payments, as a secondary objective subordinate to its core financial stability mandate, responding to criticism that the central bank has been too conservative on emerging financial technology. The Treasury said the move keeps London competitive in fast-growing digital asset markets, signaling a UK framework that balances risk control with fintech innovation and may create clearer conditions for digital payments, stablecoins and other digital asset businesses.
