US and UK Push to Align Tokenized Finance Rules Globally
The two largest financial markets are coordinating on tokenization rules, a move that could reshape how digital assets trade worldwide.
The United States and United Kingdom are making a joint push to synchronize regulations around tokenized finance, a development that could define how digital assets operate across the world's two most influential financial markets.
