British trade groups are calling for the inclusion of Blockchain and digital assets in the UK-America technology bridge agreement.

In a letter signed by organizations including the UK Cryptoasset Business Council (, UK Finance, and ThecityUK, they warned that excluding blockchain could leave the UK sidelined in a rapidly growing market and called for collaboration on stablecoins, tokenization, and cross-border regulatory harmonization. A government spokesperson confirmed ongoing negotiations with US partners on technology cooperation in the areas of artificial intelligence, quantum, and cybersecurity, but did not provide further details on bringing blockchain to market. These groups argue that swift action is needed to ensure market access and competitive advantage as global standards for digital assets are gradually being shaped.
