Coinbase UK CEO Keith Gross predicts that stablecoins will significantly transform the UK payment landscape by 2026. He anticipates their integration into daily transactions within the next 12 to 18 months, driven by regulatory clarity and increased adoption. Gross emphasized the importance of regulations that align with innovation, suggesting that stablecoins could enhance financial stability and position the UK as a leader in digital finance. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has also identified stablecoins as a crucial element of its 2026 agenda. Gross highlighted the potential of stablecoins to improve transparency and traceability in financial transactions, which could aid in Countering the Financing of Terrorism. As liquidity and crypto markets continue to evolve, stablecoins are seen as pivotal in shaping the future of digital payments in the UK.
