The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced on Sept. 22 that it will work with the United Kingdom’s HM Treasury to launch a Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future, with a strong emphasis on digital assets. The initiative was presented following a joint roundtable in London attended by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves.

The new group will operate under the U.K.-U.S. Financial Regulatory Working Group and will provide recommendations within 180 days. The focus of the taskforce will be on exploring the evolving landscape of digital markets while ensuring collaboration between the two countries’ financial systems. According to the announcement:

The taskforce is to report back to both finance ministries, via the U.K.-U.S. Financial Regulatory Working Group (FRWG), on recommendations to enhance collaboration on capital markets and digital assets and other innovative financial activities.

By working alongside industry leaders, the group intends to provide strategies that address both current and future regulatory challenges while promoting innovation.

In addition to capital market cooperation, the taskforce is expected to weigh different approaches to digital finance. The joint statement highlighted:

Options for short-to-medium term collaboration on digital assets while legislation and regulatory regimes are still developing, as well as options for long-term collaboration and additional opportunities for wholesale digital markets innovation.

Industry engagement will be central in shaping these proposals, with regulators from both nations contributing oversight. While concerns remain over regulatory uncertainty, backers of the initiative maintain that deeper U.S.-U.K. alignment in digital assets could provide a competitive edge globally and accelerate innovation across wholesale financial markets.
