According to the Financial timeThe British Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the Secretary of the United States of the Treasury Scott Bessent met in London on September 16 to describe a joint framework designed to strengthen the surveillance of the rapidly growing digital asset industry.
Collaboration will focus on the harmonization of market driving standards, anti-whiteness protocols (LMA) and Stablecoin regulations. The United Kingdom has published its framework for the cryptographic assets in April 2025, positioning itself as a potential world center for digital finance. Meanwhile, in July 2025, the United States presented the law on engineering, the first full federal framework regulating stablecoins.
Lead innovation while avoiding fragmentation
The bilateral decision aims to combat regulatory fragmentation and prevent market uncertainty while the digital asset sector continues to develop.
British officials have recognized the concerns that a cautious approach has slowed innovation. Former Chancellor George Osborne warned that without decisive action, Great Britain is likely to be delayed in the United States, Singapore and other progressive jurisdictions in digital finance.
Chancellor Reeves stressed that a deeper alignment with the United States could help British companies more easily access American markets and attract greater American investment in the British financial ecosystem.
The agreement also has a political weight. The reports suggest that the United Kingdom is impatient to align itself with the American position of cryptocurrencies, considering it crucial to promote consumer adoption at home.
A joint sandbox for innovation
The talks involved the two cryptocurrency companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, and the big banks such as Bank of America and Barclays.
A key proposal is the creation of a Joint “Sandbox of digital titles”Allowing financial applications based on the blockchain to be tested under coordinated regulatory supervision.
However, challenges remain. The banking sector has been resistant, surveys showing almost 40% of crypto users in the United Kingdom have suffered paid or delayed by banks. Meanwhile, the Bank of England’s proposal to cap individual stables between £ 10,000 and £ 20,000 was criticized as expensive and impractical.
However, the agreement, finalized at the last minute after the lobbying of industrial groups, reports an increasing emergency for the two nations to coordinate on the formatting of the future of cryptocurrencies and digital finances.
