TechFlow reports, July 15, according to the UK government official website (GOV.UK) release, on July 14, 2026, the UK and US jointly issued a stablecoin policy statement through the "Transatlantic Future Markets Working Group", reaching multiple consensuses on the stablecoin regulatory framework, aiming to promote the coordinated development of the digital financial markets of the two countries.
The core content of the statement includes: both countries acknowledge that stablecoins are an important vehicle for digital currency innovation, supporting their application in cross-border payments, settlement, and tokenized financial markets; stablecoins must be backed by high-quality liquid assets with at least 1:1 full reserves, and reserve assets must be strictly segregated from the issuer's own funds; both countries will provide timely, clear, and consistent legal pathways for stablecoin regulation, avoiding disproportionate reserve requirements or market entry barriers.
In addition, the statement clearly indicates that it will explore a cross-border interoperability mechanism for stablecoins between the two countries, and ensure that holders enjoy priority claim rights on reserve assets in the event of issuer bankruptcy or restructuring. The governments of both countries emphasized that regulatory policies should avoid hindering innovation and cross-border competition while maintaining financial stability.
