On Aug. 4, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released a joint statement summarizing the U.S.-U.K. Financial Regulatory Working Group meeting held in London on July 8. According to Odaily Planet Daily, officials from the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve, and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority committed to enhancing cooperation across digital assets, AI, and payments modernization. Both nations endorsed comparable stablecoin standards, requiring that assets used as money be backed 1:1 by high-quality liquid reserves. The U.S. provided updates on the GENIUS Act, while the U.K. outlined its wholesale digital strategy, including a proposed £40 billion issuance cap for systemic stablecoins. This collaboration aims to harmonize cross-border risk management and regulatory treatment. The working group is slated to meet again in early 2027.
