The United States and Great Britain are preparing to formalize closer cooperation in the field of cryptocurrency regulation. Stablecoin is to play a key role. The agreement between the countries was concluded by the Chancellor of Great Britain Rachel Reeves and Secretary of the US Treasure Scott Bessent.
USA and Great Britain regulate the market
During the conversations between the two sides, the potential of digital assets, especially Stablecoin, was emphasized in the drive of economic growth. British officials have found that Great Britain has great opportunities in the cryptocurrency sector.
Both countries want to accelerate cooperation at the level of regulatory cooperation. Everything takes place after the British cryptocurrency associations appealed to include digital assets in bilateral agreements. In an open letter to Reeves, issued in August 2025, 30 representatives of the cryptocurrency industry stated that the United Kingdom “must take action now to avoid becoming the recipient of the regulations, and not their creator in the era of digital assets.”
Reeves said that closer cooperation with Washington can bring larger American investments, especially since several companies listed in Great Britain are moving to American stock exchanges.
The possibility of developing common regulatory sandboxes that will serve blockchain tests was also discussed. Such an initiative would allow companies to act under coordinated supervision in both markets to test products intended for cross -border use.
First of all, stablecoin
Stablecoin occupied an important place in discussions. The United States consider them tools that will strengthen the global dominance of the dollar, and also increase the demand for American tax bonds. In turn, Great Britain is late in this field. Former Chancellor George Osborne, a member of the Global Coinbase Advisory Council, said that the country “completely omitted” regulatory activities regarding the Stablecoin and added that this delay should be made up quickly.
Entrepreneurs interested in the British market also called London to take into account blockchain and toketenization in their technology agreement USA-UK Tech Bridge, a double-sided agreement on cooperation in new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and quantum computers. They argued that the exclusion of digital finances from this agreement would mean that Great Britain would be omitted in the next wave of financial modernization.
