Financial Times: The US and UK will deepen cooperation on encryption regulation, possibly including issues related to stablecoins and tokenization.

According to the Financial Times in the UK, the United States and the United Kingdom are planning to engage in closer cooperation in the field of crypto assets regulation and may include stablecoins and tokenization assets within the bilateral technology cooperation framework. This move is seen by the industry as an important step towards promoting the international standardization of digital assets, which could have a profound impact on the global crypto market.

High-Level Meeting: US and UK Treasury Secretaries with Crypto Giants

Meeting time: September 16

Attending Officials:

· UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves

· US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent

· Participating Companies: Bank of America, Barclays, Circle, Citibank, Coinbase, Ripple

· Conference Focus: Strengthening cooperation between the US and UK on cryptocurrency regulation and digital asset innovation.

Ripple's Managing Director for the UK and Europe, Cassie Craddock, stated that this collaboration "has the potential to set a benchmark for international cooperation in the global digital asset industry."

UK-US Tech Bridge: May Include Digital Assets

Currently, there is a Tech Bridge cooperation program between the US and the UK, covering:

· Artificial Intelligence (AI)

· Cybersecurity

· Space and Quantum Technology

· Biotechnology

· Digital Finance

Industry groups are calling for stablecoins and tokenized assets to be included in the framework, or else the UK may fall behind other regions in the global financial innovation race.

Cross-border Regulatory Sandbox Concept

Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), once proposed the establishment of a "cross-border sandbox":

1. The US and UK allow crypto companies to operate under the supervision of regulatory authorities for two years;

2. Test new types of digital asset products and services;

3. Reduce cross-border compliance costs and accelerate the implementation of innovations.

Political Background and Timing

This meeting coincides with the visit of US President Donald Trump to the UK. In the context of the accelerated implementation of global crypto regulation, the cooperation between the US and the UK is seen as:

· Strategic measures to combat regulatory fragmentation

· Policy signals to attract international capital and innovative enterprises

Conclusion

The deepening cooperation between the US and the UK on cryptocurrency regulation not only helps the two countries establish unified standards in the digital asset field but may also become an important example in promoting the normalization of the global crypto market. If stablecoins and tokenized assets are eventually included in the technological bridge, it will bring broader development space for cross-border payments, capital market innovation, and blockchain applications.
