In order to further promote financial stability, investor protection, fair, orderly, and efficient markets, as well as capital formation in both jurisdictions, the financial regulatory working group was established in 2008, according to the statement. The regulators discussed financial innovation and the conclusions of the June meeting of the US-UK Financial Innovation Partnership. The Treasury elaborated, stating that they discussed crypto-asset regulation and recent market developments, especially those relating to stablecoins and the investigation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)
All attendees pledged to work together in the future to encourage innovative safe financial practises and improve stablecoin regulatory results globally. According to the Treasury, participants also explored potential prospects for additional discussion on larger crypto-asset regulation efforts.
According to the statement, the regulators from the U.S. and the U.K. appreciated the continued relevance of the ongoing relationship on global financial innovation and noted the necessity of both maintaining and further engaging in multilateral conversations on these themes. The U.S. and U.K. will expand connections on crypto-asset regulation and market developments, notably in respect to stablecoins and the exploration of central bank digital currencies. This statement is given by Nikhil Rathi, chief executive of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, in July.
