CryptoUK joins The Digital Chamber as transatlantic digital asset rules take shape
Washington, D.C.-based crypto advocacy group The Digital Chamber is expanding its global footprint by joining forces with CryptoUK, the United Kingdom’s leading digital-asset trade association.Under the arrangement, CryptoUK's team will be under The Digital Chamber umbrella as both countries embark on writing rules to regulate digital assets. "This move strengthens our ability to champion the work our members are building and to advocate for them across global markets,” said Cody Carbone, CEO of the Digital Chamber, in a statement on Tuesday.Lawmakers in Washington are continuing to work on a bill to regulate the crypto industry after passing legislation regulating stablecoins over the summer. Federal regulators are now focused on implementing stablecoin rules. The UK, meanwhile, has adopted a phased approach to crypto regulation, aiming to position itself as a global hub for digital assets while also prioritizing consumer protection and financial stability. Some critics have recently argued that the United States is pulling ahead of the UK in the race to become a leading crypto center.On Tuesday, Crypto UK’s Executive Director, Su Carpenter, said both organizations are "like-minded." “This move will strengthen both organisations by enabling cross-jurisdictional knowledge sharing and access to broader resources," Carpenter said. "At a critical time for UK-US regulatory coordination, we see this as an important step forward for our members and the wider digital asset industry."In November, The Digital Chamber said it was ramping up its efforts at the state level in the U.S. The group announced a new State Network to push for digital asset policies in state and local government, with a part of their goal to boost pro-crypto candidates at every level of government as 2026 midterm races take shape, Carbone previously told The Block.
