The Chancellor and US Treasury Secretary Bessent have now engaged on multiple occasions, and have stressed the importance of international collaboration in financial services. This includes continued UK-US engagement to support the use and responsible growth of digital assets.

On 3 June, HM Treasury hosted the US Treasury and regulators for the UK-US Financial Regulatory Working Group. The Joint Statement outlines the discussions, including on digital assets, and can be found here.

UK and US officials and regulators continue to engage via a range of mechanisms to support collaboration and coordination.
