British and US regulators are at odds over how to test blockchain-based versions of financial securities, according to sources familiar with talks held in January. The UK favours a controlled regulatory sandbox, while the US Securities and Exchange Commission prefers a method called exemptive relief that has backing from the American crypto industry. Both countries remain aligned on broader goals including stablecoin rules, and the joint Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future is expected to report its recommendations by summer 2026.
