UK To Deepen Crypto Ties With US, May Adopt More Pro-Crypto Approach: FT

The UK is set to expand cooperation with the US on digital assets while exploring a more crypto-friendly approach to boost innovation and attract investment.

That’s according to a Financial Times report that cited sources familiar with the matter after discussions on Tuesday between UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The story said the initiative seeks to do more to harmonize regulatory frameworks, particularly for stablecoins, and improve UK companies’ access to US financial markets.

The discussions coincide with President Donald Trump’s current state visit to the UK and included executives from Coinbase, Circle, Ripple, USD Coin issuer Circle Internet Group, Bank of America, Barclays and Citigroup.

One of the people cited in the report said that there is currently a “huge opportunity for the UK” in crypto, and that Trump’s pro-crypto stance is seen as “vital” to unlocking digital asset adoption in Britain.

UK officials are reportedly already working with the US to create digital securities sandboxes, which will give companies operating in the financial sector the ability to test blockchain technology.

UK And US Deals Are Likely To Include Stablecoins

According to the FT report, any crypto-centered deals between the UK and US will likely involve stablecoins. These digital assets got a major boost from an adoption and regulatory standpoint after US President Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law. 

Trump is also involved in crypto ventures that involve stablecoins. The biggest of these endeavors is USD1, a stablecoin launched by the Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial. 

Since its launch in April this year, USD1’s market cap has risen to over $2.65 billion, ranking it as the fifth-biggest stablecoin in terms of capitalization, according to CoinMarketCap.

In addition to World Liberty Financial, the Trump family is involved in crypto mining, decentralized prediction markets, and even have their own meme coins called Official Trump (TRUMP) and Melania (MELANIA). The President also signed an executive order shortly after taking office to establish a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. 

While the Trump Administration and the US have pushed forward with pro-crypto policies, the Bank of England was recently slammed for trying to limit stablecoin ownership. 

In a recent proposal, the central bank said it wants to cap individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 and 20,000 British pounds, which equates to between $13,650 and $27,300. It also wanted to limit the amount of stablecoins businesses could hold.

The industry lambasted the bank for that proposal, and also argued that it would be both difficult and expensive to implement those proposed restrictions. 

UK banks have also tried to tame adoption. Around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors said that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider. 

UK Regulator Considers Waiving Some Rules For Crypto Firms

The pushback the Bank of England received for its stablecoin ownership proposal was followed with new proposals from the UK’s top financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

The financial watchdog published a consultation paper today, which sets out the minimum standards that companies operating in the crypto space must meet once the industry is formally brought under its remit. According to the regulator, the rules are designed to balance competitiveness and innovation with protections for consumers while simultaneously ensuring market integrity.

In the consultation paper, the FCA said that many of the rules are similar to ones that apply to institutions in the traditional finance sector.

The financial regulator is also seeking comments on whether the UK’s Consumer Duty, which requires traditional finance firms to deliver good outcomes for their clients, should apply to crypto asset activities and digital asset companies as well. 

That comes after His Majesty’s Treasury published its draft legislation for crypto in April. In this draft, plans to bring exchanges, agents and dealers in line with current regulations were outlined. 

Those plans signal that the UK is “open for business,” but closed to abuse and fraud, the government said.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…

VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs

VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs

The post VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead. Grab a coffee because the firms shaping crypto’s future are not just building products, but also trying to reshape how capital flows. Crypto News of the Day: VanEck Maps Next Frontier of Crypto Venture Investing VanEck, a Wall Street player known for financial “firsts,” is pushing that legacy into Web3. The firsts include pioneering US gold funds and launching one of the earliest spot Bitcoin ETFs. Sponsored Sponsored “Financial instruments have always been a kind of tokenization. From seashells to traveler’s checks, from relational databases to today’s on-chain assets. You could even joke that VanEck’s first gold mutual funds were the original ‘tokenized gold,’” Juan C. Lopez, General Partner at VanEck Ventures, told BeInCrypto. That same instinct drives the firm’s venture bets. Lopez said VanEck goes beyond writing checks and brings the full weight of the firm. This extends from regulatory proximity to product experiments to founders building the next phase of crypto infrastructure. Asked about key investment priorities, Lopez highlighted stablecoins. “We care deeply about three questions: How do we accelerate stablecoin ubiquity? What will users want to do with them once highly distributed? And what net new assets can we construct now that we have sophisticated market infrastructure?” Lopez added. However, VanEck is not limiting itself to the hottest narrative, acknowledging that decentralized finance (DeFi) is having a renaissance. The VanEck executive also noted that success will depend on new approaches to identity and programmable compliance layered on public blockchains. Backing Legion With A New Model for ICOs Sponsored Sponsored That compliance-first angle explains VanEck Ventures’ recent co-lead of Legion’s $5 million seed round alongside Brevan Howard. Legion aims to reinvent token fundraising by making early-stage access…
