UK-US Taskforce to Align Capital Access & Crypto Rules

The United Kingdom and United States have initiated the “Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future” to reduce regulatory frictions in capital markets and improve cooperation on cryptocurrency rules. Approved as part of UK-U.S. economic talks, the taskforce will produce recommendations in 180 days, focusing on smoother cross-border investment, digital asset oversight, and harmonizing rules for wholesale crypto markets. For fintechs, startups, and investors, this may mean faster approvals, clearer compliance paths, and reduced uncertainty when operating across both jurisdictions.
