The Bank of England is testing how stablecoins could work with a digital pound in cross-border payment systems.

The project is examining interoperability between stablecoins, a potential UK digital pound, and other payment networks.

The tests are part of the Bank’s broader work on digital payment infrastructure and international money transfers.

The project is exploring how different forms of digital money could interact across payment systems.

The Bank is working with partners to test technical standards and payment settlement processes.

The UK has been studying a potential digital pound while also examining how private stablecoins could operate within the financial system.

The results of the project could help inform future payment infrastructure and digital currency policy in the UK.
