A regulated stablecoin fully backed 1:1 by pound sterling — one of the world’s five reserve currencies, moved in real time across major blockchains.
The pound is on one side of about 13% of global FX trades — the fourth-most-traded currency, behind only the dollar, euro and yen. That liquidity is why treasuries, clearing houses and central banks treat sterling as a default reserve.
Central banks hold about $670 billion in sterling — the fourth-largest slice of allocated reserves after the dollar, euro and yen. Only four currencies sit above it in the IMF COFER league table.
Founded in 1694, the Bank of England is the world’s second-oldest central bank. Three centuries of legal precedent, common-law contract enforcement and deep capital markets have made London a primary venue for cross-border finance.
More foreign-exchange turnover passes through London than through New York, Singapore and Hong Kong combined. Sterling infrastructure — CHAPS, LCH, LSE — underwrites a large share of the world’s cross-border payments.
