The omens aren’t good for ‘Britcoin’, the Bank’s digital pound Most people, if they think about the Bank of England, think only of interest rates. And yes, it is true, the Bank’s monetary policy committee (MPC) has an important decision on rates coming up soon — on August 7. Who knows, I may touch on that this time next week. There are, though, many other things the Bank does. These may not have the immediacy of interest rate changes but they are important. One is whether the UK should have a digital currency, which some dub “Britcoin”, issued by the

Bank of England governor: “Perhaps there may also be a role for a retail central bank digital £, but I remain to be convinced why the natural next step is to create a new form of money, rather than put digital technology into retail payments & bank accounts.” 💸 #Britcoin apple.news/AZjiLj0quQ6a...

“Thank you for your attention on this matter!”

🏦 شكك محافظ بنك إنجلترا Andrew Bailey في جدوى إصدار عملة رقمية مركزية للأفراد، مؤكدًا أنه "غير مقتنع بعد" بضرورتها. رغم دعم النسخة المؤسسية، حذّر من تقويض "وحدة النقود" وهروب الودائع. القرار يعكس تريثًا في مشروع #Britcoin وسط مخاوف استقرار. #CBDC #Crypto #BoE #بريطانيا #UKEconomy
