In brief
The U.S. and UK Treasuries have published 10 joint recommendations to align their regulation of stablecoins, tokenized assets, and capital markets, five of them focused on digital assets.
The recommendations, from a taskforce set up during President Trump's 2025 UK state visit, add no binding rules but set a shared direction, including a private-sector group to test cross-border tokenization and a joint statement backing stablecoins.
Coinbase welcomed the plan, calling the recommendations a “critical moment for transatlantic cooperation.”
