The £20k limit on retail stablecoin ownership makes zero sense under a properly crafted policy. Remember, this is the same FCA that banned retail investors from investing in crpyto ETPs while the price soared from <$10k to > $100k "for their protection".
The Bank of England’s cap on stablecoin ownership is a poison pill for Britain’s financial sector. Britain cannot afford to be left behind.

The Bitcoin ETF (IBIT US) is about to become the quickest ETF ever to surpass $100 billion. So of course the FCA banned it in the UK so nobody here could benefit. The dinosaur political class do everything in their power to stop British people succeeding.

I think about this also.
I often think about this exchange I had with @elonmusk. What would have happened if history had bent just slightly differently?

Excellent proposal by @ZiaYusufUK: A key strength in 🇺🇸 is that a President can choose cabinet members from the entire population not just a tiny pool of elected reps. But how will this work practically? Most likely elevation of candidates to the Lords, but not legal requirment
A key problem is that Britain has a Minister of Science and Technology that has never even worked in Science nor Tech. He wouldn’t get a job at any tech firm. Yet has the biggest job in tech. This is why @Nigel_Farage has said most of Reform’s Cabinet will not be MPs.

In his speech, Chair Atkins commented that “It is my view that a Cambrian explosion in innovation could occur if we stay true to this course”. I agree, and Texture will be lighting the fuse!

I am blown away by today’s speech from SEC Chair Paul Atkins. See American Leadership in the Digital Finance Revolution ( https://t.co/7X9QAuTg3l). Chair Atkins “Project Crypto” describes nearly everything I envisioned when I founded Texture Capital over 5 years ago.
