The crypto market sell-off is likely driven by broader macroeconomic uncertainty. In addition to the factor of US President Donald Trump’s tariff policy, a sell-off in Japanese government bonds also fueled concerns. 

At the same time, stock indices also posted losses, including MSCI — 0.3% and Nikkei — 1.2%.

The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement.

The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
