EU–US Financial Forum Highlights Cooperation on Crypto Regulation

The EU–U.S. Joint Financial Regulatory Forum took place last week, with participants exchanging views on topics of mutual interest as part of their regular financial regulatory dialogue. The dialogue was hosted by the European Commission and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. During the forum, participants discussed digital finance and crypto assets, focusing on regulatory cooperation and the implementation of the Digital Operational Resilience Act and Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation in the EU. Both sides emphasized the importance of international cooperation on issues related to crypto assets, including stablecoins, and stressed the need for continued coordination on the international payments agenda to support financial stability and market integrity.
