UK Trade Groups Push Blockchain Into US Tech Deal 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Twelve major UK trade associations — including UK Finance, TheCityUK, and the UK Cryptoasset Business Council (UKCBC) — have urged the government to make blockchain a core strand of the UK-US “Tech Bridge” ahead of Trump’s upcoming visit.

They warn that leaving digital assets out risks putting Britain “on the sidelines” while Asia and the Middle East set global standards for tokenization, stablecoins, and next-gen payments.

Takeaway: London doesn’t want to miss the RWA + stablecoin corridor opportunity between the world’s two largest financial hubs.

Smart move — if London misses this window, Asia and the Gulf will dominate tokenization corridors.

RWA + stablecoin rails between NYC and London could be bigger than equities in the long run.

The UK finally pushing blockchain at a policy level feels overdue. Hope it’s not just lip service.

Hope EU soon see we need to get on the train.

Looks like a strong signal to the government — London really can’t afford to fall behind in the blockchain race
