US and Britain split over crypto collaboration: Report

Reuters reported March 4, 2026 from LONDON/PARIS that British regulators and U.S. regulators are divided over testing blockchain-based stocks or bonds.
Britain prefers testing tokenised securities via regulatory sandboxes, while the SEC expressed doubts about their commercial viability in January and is weighing exemptive relief.
The Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future announced in September aims to reduce rules for companies seeking cross-border market access, with members meeting in January and recommendations due by the summer.
The SEC said it will continue working with the UK to build consensus and harmonize rules, aiming for reciprocity allowing cross-border tokenised stock transactions, the FCA said sandboxes help develop markets.
The disagreement mirrors a pro-crypto U.S. policy environment and broader regulatory tensions as tokenisation supporters cite efficiency gains, while regulators warn it risks investors and market integrity under President Donald Trump.
