We actively follow and contribute to the conversation around a UK digital pound, exploring models that balance innovation, safety and openness.

Key design principles

  • • 1:1 sterling backing with liquid, low-risk assets.
  • • Clear segregation of client assets held on trust.
  • • Transparent issuance and redemption mechanics.
  • • Multi-chain interoperability over time.

Yield & ecosystem products

Future products may utilise conservative funding-fee strategies and other on-chain primitives to generate yield, always anchored by strong risk management.

What is eGBP Digital Sterling?

eGBP is a long-term exploration into a regulated, sterling-backed stablecoin that can serve as digital cash for people, businesses and developers. We are mapping out the regulatory, technical and commercial requirements needed for a truly trustworthy digital pound.
