Transatlantic Crypto Pact - Issue #572

The Focus

The decision by the US and UK to establish a joint task force on crypto and capital markets marks a different approach compared to what we're used to. For the first time, the two most influential jurisdictions in finance are attempting to create common ground on stablecoins, tokenized securities, and the infrastructure that moves trillions of dollars every day.

The timing is deliberate. Washington is experimenting with blockchain for official data, signaling seriousness rather than rhetoric. London, under pressure as companies shift listings to the US, sees cooperation as a way to protect its relevance. The result is not a headline-grabbing stunt but a negotiation over how value will flow between the world’s largest pools of capital.

For fintech leaders, the implications are profound. Aligned rules could mean faster approvals, broader market access, and fewer costly detours. But the bar will be higher: a product that cannot satisfy supervisors on both sides of the Atlantic may never reach scale.

This is the kind of alignment that rewrites playbooks. It is less about abstract promises and more about the fine print of reserve rules, custody requirements, and settlement finality. In other words, the boring details that determine whether digital finance becomes mainstream infrastructure or remains a niche experiment.
