eGBP Digital SterlingA research-led path to a UK digital pound.
eGBP Digital Sterling focuses on a fiat-backed stablecoin pegged to the British pound. Our goal is to build transparent, interoperable infrastructure that can move value globally while remaining rooted in the UK's regulatory landscape.
Member of the Digital Pound ecosystem
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?
