#tGBP #Stablecoin Launches as U.K. Regulatory Framework Takes Shape
BCP Technologies has launched its British pound-backed #stablecoin tGBP on the Ethereum blockchain.
The FCA-registered firm positions the token as a "live proof-of-concept" for upcoming U.K. #stablecoin regulation.
Each #tGBP token represents one British pound held in segregated bank accounts.
The company plans to eventually back the stablecoin with short-term U.K. government bonds in line with FCA proposals.
BCP will participate in FCA roundtable discussions on July 4 regarding new regulatory frameworks.
Major exchanges are expected to list $tGBP in the coming weeks following a 14-month regulatory submission process.
The pound stablecoin market remains largely untapped, with existing options having less than $500,000 combined marketcap.
