He also added that both the US and the UK will be deepening ties when it comes to regulation crypto assets. They will also collaborate when it comes to developments in the market. This collaborating will include working on stablecoins, as well as exploring digital currencies. Rathi also mentioned that the FCA had already held cryptosprints earlier in the year, with around 200 participating members.
