A direct tailwind for #GBPA. We're ready.

NEW: The UK's FCA clears asset managers to run fund registers on blockchain and process subscriptions directly onchain under existing rules, giving tokenized funds a clear regulatory path without needing separate experimental structures.

We’re pleased to share that Agant is now a registered cryptoasset business with the UK Financial Conduct Authority under the Money Laundering Regulations. This is a key step in our vision to enhance money, bringing us closer to issuing GBPA, our fully backed GBP stablecoin designed for institutional use cases.
A well-designed GBP stablecoin can unlock innovation across payments, settlement and tokenised assets. We’re excited to be at the forefront of this innovation in the UK along with our partners

Agant is excited to have joined @tempo on the launch of their testnet as an ecosystem partner for stablecoin issuance alongside @withAUSD, @AllUnityStable, @BitGo, @brale_xyz and @Frax.
Our focus on compliant GBP stablecoin infrastructure aligns with Tempo’s goal of making stablecoin payments practical for mainstream businesses. We look forward to enabling pound-denominated settlement as we bring #GBPA onto testnet.

🧵 Agant has submitted its response to the FCA’s Consultation paper CP25/14 on stablecoin issuance and cryptoasset custody, and CP25/15 on a prudential regime for cryptoasset firms. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute our views as the UK’s regulatory regime for stablecoins develops and evolves.
The FCA has worked tirelessly to prepare a sensible, comprehensive regulatory regime. While many of the proposals are sensible, our responses make several significant comments and suggestions. Some are summarised below.

In a recent interview by Izabella Kaminska published by @politico, Agant co-founder Reuben Blamey makes a strong case for UK stablecoins: “We want to be like Circle and Tether - where we’re one of the biggest holders of U.K. government debt. That’s a positive thing for the government.”
Agant is developing GBPA, a GBP stablecoin that aims to do more than simply enable on-chain settlement. It’s designed to support sovereign debt markets, reduce FX risk for UK corporates and could help to ensure that the country isn’t left behind in the digital financial era: “It’s a collateral instrument and a settlement instrument in Pound sterling, but the government benefits directly too”, Reuben points out in the article.
In a global market dominated by dollar-backed stablecoins, European challengers like Agant as well as others such as Germany’s @AllUnityStable are pushing for regulator-backed alternatives - not just to build trust, but to preserve monetary sovereignty.
As the U.S. moves ahead with new regulatory frameworks and faster market adoption, Agant is aiming to build a compliant, functional alternative that serves UK institutions 24/7, in their native currency, on public blockchains.
The article points out that a digital Pound stablecoin isn’t just about innovation - it could also be a lifeline for the UK’s fiscal strategy in a rapidly shifting global order: “It’s an identity play. A sovereignty play. If we don’t have a European solution, we’ll have to accept what is provided to us. And that’s not a good idea”, Reuben concludes.

Stablecoins are fast becoming the foundation of programmable, borderless, and streamlined value transfer. Thank you to Alexander Ross and Charlton Hook, CFA for hosting!

@LinkedInHelp Hello, I've suddenly lost access to my LI account and others are saying they can no longer see it. I try to verify ID but it says I already submitted a request, which I have not. This happened overnight so I think my account has been compromised.

This was not your basic demo day, over 240 people flew to Budapest, We managed to gather all the very best teams thanks to the help of all the @superteam @LaFamilia_so & @KumekaTeam in Europe. We allowed them to pitch in front of the best VCs/projects/incubators/jurys.
All projects got their flights, hotels and meals covered thanks to our amazing sponsors ❤️
