Lisa Cameron, a former United Kingdom Member of Parliament and the founder of the UK-US Crypto Alliance, has indicated that a joint “sandbox” is under development between the United States and the United Kingdom. This collaboration aims to harmonize the regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrency markets in both countries.
According to Cameron, the UK-US Crypto Alliance reached this conclusion after discussions with US Senators and members of the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force. The anticipated purpose of the sandbox is to facilitate the “passporting” of crypto licenses between the UK and the US, thus reducing regulatory hurdles for businesses operating in both markets.
Cameron emphasized the significance of regulatory clarity in fostering the growth of the crypto sector, noting that many organizations desire a clear regulatory framework that allows for “passporting” between the UK and the US. She also suggested that the EU could benefit from a similar approach.
Cryptocurrency regulation appears to be gaining momentum in the UK, with the Bank of England recently publishing a consultation paper proposing a regulatory framework for stablecoins. This new framework regulates sterling-denominated “systemic stablecoins” widely used in payments, similar to the US’s GENIUS Act.
These developments follow reports that treasury authorities in the US and UK have established a transatlantic task force to explore short-to-medium term collaboration on digital assets. Furthermore, it has been reported that the UK and US are preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets.
Cameron expressed concerns that the UK risks missing a window of opportunity if it doesn’t act quickly and intelligently. She emphasized that crypto regulation is not as high a political priority as it should be, and that companies are choosing to leave the UK due to a lack of support.
Cameron stressed that the US’s assertive policy direction has intensified the need for the UK to move swiftly. She asserted that the UK has no time to lose and must act quickly regarding emerging frontier technologies.
