The US and UK have issued ten non-binding recommendations aimed at cooperation on stablecoins, tokenized securities, and cross-border finance, including a proposal for a one-year industry group to test cross-border tokenized asset use. Although these proposals set regulatory priorities, they do not create enforceable rules or mutual market access without domestic rule changes.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face regulatory clarity opening for cross-border crypto finance but no immediate access to new markets without domestic rule changes. Testing tokenised assets across the Atlantic is a live chance to influence upcoming regulations while competitors may move faster elsewhere.
