Donald Trump's arrival in the United Kingdom for his first state visit as president has not only diplomatic and political implications, but also economic and technological ones. Leading crypto industry groups have taken advantage of the event to launch an urgent call: that digital assets be included in the agenda of the "UK-US Tech Bridge", the bilateral initiative that seeks to strengthen technological cooperation between the two countries.
📖 The Tech Bridge was conceived as a framework to drive innovation in areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, 5G, and defense technology. However, until now, digital assets and blockchain have not taken center stage. Faced with this omission, crypto industry associations and groups sent a statement to the British government demanding recognition of the industry's relevance to the future of global finance.
The request comes at a time when the United Kingdom is seeking to position itself as a post-Brexit digital financial hub, and when the United States, under the Trump administration, has shown a more open stance toward innovation in cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. According to The Block, the proposal includes:
Encouraging regulatory cooperation between the British FCA and the US SEC/CFTC. Promoting joint projects in blockchain infrastructure applied to payments, trade, and digital security.Facilitating cross-investment in startups and digital asset protocols in both countries.
For proponents, not including crypto in the Tech Bridge would be a strategic error: "Leaving it out would be ignoring the next great wave of financial innovation," the statement's signatories noted.
Topic Opinion:
It's not just about cryptocurrencies, but about technology that redefines finance, digital identity, and commerce. If the Tech Bridge ignores this point, it risks becoming obsolete from the start.
💬 Do you think regulatory clarity is still lacking to make that leap?
