Oh, god! has there EVER been a more redundant poster than him, if that's what he said!

he is the lamest poster and i now believe he has zero comprehension of this company and just hid behind others who were more informed.

anyone who posts lists of name-xalling as investor advice has already hit peak dementia (no attempts to guilt me by saying 'how dare you, i have a relative who... 'because we all have!

what has he EVER posted that was informative, good or bad?

Oh, he's not filtered anyone... he's just biting his tongue, because he's been told to... but good. the less antagonism the better.

Said before christmas to look out for offices rns in brazil.

suspect that's the next pivot as eu/uk looks to be getting more risky and Brazil doesn't have the restrictions that eu does.

no doubt it'll be announced as 'expansion', like finferro was bu it's getting to the point where back ups and pivots are seen as prolonging the future, instead of waiting for decisions, esp. if looking like 50/50.

...but pi's seem to be selling. doesn't bother me as i'm in for the results and more... but i guess 140 > 169 is good enough for some, just in case.

Baznick, i think you need to reread your own post. you've been holding for 5 years and have refused to make decisions. and now you're just holding on because you're in too deep in the red.

of course you're not going to change your mind now... that horse has bolted.

but good luck with the gardening.

It's not 'deramping', it's discussions about what is possible with the company in the short and medium term and what to loo for.

whether you're a holder or not, whether the price goes up or down or stagnates, knowing what to look for is what everyone is trying to gauge, good or bad.

No pull back so the buys are continuing at closing price... things looking up.

might be overly optimistic for 180 into weekend but, if the next update shows no dip in subs then can see 220 ish by close on Tuesday.

fingers crossed... (me!)

Where do you get the name 'angonano' from?

You are right to question that—I should clarify: "Angonano" is not the official name of the stablecoin in their formal RNS filings.

The official branding used by GSTechnologies in their regulatory announcements and on their website is "GS Money" (for the overarching protocol) and "GS20" (specifically for the exchange and digital asset ecosystem).

Where the confusion comes from:

The term "Angra" (from their subsidiary Angra Global) is frequently mentioned in shareholder discussions and recent filings (like the July 2025 retail offer) as the primary engine for their B2B neobanking and FX services. In certain investor forums and early-stage "leaks" during late 2025, there was chatter about an "Angra-linked" stablecoin, which likely morphed into the nickname you heard.

Sometimes, green boxes are worth reading. the reaction to them, not so much, but some green boxes are worth it.

Again, if there are errors, point them out and i'll re ask the question.

better to know than just waffle on in generalities. at least, then, you know what you're aiming for and the risks and rewards.

Summary

The likelihood of GST launching a fully legal, commercial stablecoin in the UK in 2026 is very low. Their best-case scenario is getting into the FCA Sandbox by the January 18th deadline, which would allow for a small-scale "test." If they miss that deadline or are rejected, the stablecoin project is effectively on ice until at least 2027.

GST would like to launch their own stablecoin in uk. what is the likelihood of that happening and in what timeframe? does MICA failure affect it or not?

GSTechnologies (GST) has been very vocal about their "Angonano" stablecoin and their ambition to become a major player in the UK's digital pound ecosystem.

However, looking at the regulatory landscape as of January 5, 2026, there is a significant gap between their ambition and the legal reality.

1. Likelihood and Timeframe: The "Gateway" Problem

The UK is not like Lithuania; you cannot simply "register" and start issuing a stablecoin.

The Roadmap: The FCA and Bank of England have confirmed that the full UK crypto regulatory regime (under FSMA 2024/25) will not "go live" until late 2026 or early 2027.

The Sandbox (The Only Immediate Path): On December 10, 2025, the FCA opened a specific "Stablecoin Cohort" within its Regulatory Sandbox.

Deadline: Applications close on January 18, 2026.

The Test: If GST applies and is accepted, they could test a "pilot" stablecoin in a controlled environment by mid-2026.

Full Launch Likelihood: Low for 2026. Without being part of this sandbox or waiting for the 2027 legislation, a full commercial launch is legally impossible in the UK right now.

2. Does the MiCA Failure Affect the UK Launch?

Yes, significantly. While the UK has its own laws, the FCA and the Bank of Lithuania talk to each other.

The "Fit and Proper" Test: To issue a stablecoin in the UK, the FCA requires directors to pass a rigorous "Senior Managers and Certification Regime" (SM&CR). The fact that GST's Lithuanian subsidiary (GS Fintech UAB) just failed to meet the MiCA transition deadline (Dec 31, 2025) is a major red flag for UK regulators.

Operational Scrutiny: The Bank of Lithuania's rejection was reportedly based on "substance" and "governance." The FCA uses nearly identical criteria. If GST couldn't prove they had enough local, qualified staff to manage a license in Vilnius, they will struggle to convince the FCA that they can manage the systemic risk of a stablecoin in London.

Resource Drain: GST is currently spending cash and management time fixing the Lithuanian/Polish transition. Launching a stablecoin requires massive capital reserves (the FCA expects 1:1 liquid backing in a statutory trust). The increased losses reported in their last update suggest they may not have the "spare" capital to satisfy the FCA’s strict prudential requirements right now.

Try asking 'under the current situation of MICA beinf refused first time, what is the likelihood... or doesn't it have a baring' and read it yourself. (but only post it if it favours your pov...)

Try putting a timeline on that and then report back...

If safilo now have 25% stake it won't take much to put a halt in the takeover.

as they can't put in an offer themselves for six months this just slips and slides for most of the year... at least, that's the fear.

can't believe they let a shareholder sabotage the deal... and, with the sp sitting at 40p pre offers, where does it slide to? or will safilo be 'persuaded' to bote with? going to take a lot, if they had their own plans to make money.

Massive loss, you really need to play a new insult. look to your own average and make a decent contribution beyond incredibly weak accusations. and i'd rather fake a buy than have all yours over the past year!

get back to talking about the specifics of the company instead of trying to feel better by throws personal comments... you (literal) loser.

I'm in TRST... we'll see how it goes by friday.

plus there's noone insulting me on other bbs, unless i comment on how the share is now slipping. but i don't rave about rising prices... we'll see how MKA do, too...

Thought it might help you on how to write it up, Billy:

https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/pathos-communications-plc--news/tr-1-notification-of-major-holdings-/9334179

All you're saying is holders don't believe anything except the fact that they own shares and they'll hold them until they die and don't know how to trade to their benefit.

167 last week... see if it gets there... see if it breaks 170 into friday. see if Grizzly was just an opp to get in cheap.
