Hosted a delegation of senior US crypto and digital asset industry leaders from The Digital Chamber at the UK Parliament
On 4 February 2026, the Crypto and Digital Assets All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), co-chaired by Lord Vaizey and Gurinder Singh Josan MP, and supported by CryptoUK as secretariat, hosted a delegation of senior US crypto and digital asset industry leaders from The Digital Chamber at the UK Parliament.
The roundtable brought together UK parliamentarians alongside senior representatives from the US and UK digital assets industry for a wide-ranging and constructive discussion on the US approach to crypto and digital assets, recent regulatory developments in both jurisdictions, and opportunities to strengthen UK–US collaboration in this fast-moving sector.
Discussions focused on how the UK and US can work together to support a strong, competitive and globally connected digital assets ecosystem that delivers robust consumer protection and market integrity, while also encouraging innovation, investment and long-term growth. Participants explored how different jurisdictions are approaching regulation, the role of financial regulators, and how policy frameworks can be designed to support responsible adoption of new technologies.
The roundtable also examined what is needed to attract and retain investment in the sector, including the importance of regulatory clarity, proportionate licensing and supervision, and effective engagement between regulators and industry. Participants also discussed some of the practical barriers facing firms operating across borders, including access to banking services, and how greater alignment and dialogue could help address these challenges.
The discussion highlighted the significant opportunities that a well-regulated digital assets sector presents not only for financial services, but for the wider economy – supporting innovation, competitiveness and the UK’s ambition to remain a leading global financial centre.
UK and US participants agreed on the value of continued dialogue and committed to maintaining an ongoing conversation to explore how the two jurisdictions can continue to work together, share best practice, and deepen cooperation on digital assets policy and regulation.
The Crypto and Digital Assets APPG is a leading cross-party forum in Westminster, bringing together parliamentarians, industry leaders and subject-matter experts to support informed discussion and the development of balanced, workable policy for the UK’s digital assets sector.
