最新报道：According to a September 30th report from the Financial Times, Adrian Harris, head of the New York Department of Financial Services (DFS), stated in an interview that a passporting program under the umbrella of regulatory cooperation, following the agreement reached between the UK and the US on the "Future Markets" task force, is a "very interesting" opportunity. Harris stated that the "borderless nature" of the crypto market makes cooperation and standardization among global regulators even more crucial. Earlier this month, US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves announced plans to establish a UK-US "Future Markets" task force, but did not elaborate on its focus. The task force will be chaired by officials from the two finance ministries, consult with industry executives, and submit a report within 180 days. When asked whether this could facilitate access for US and UK cryptocurrency companies to each other's markets, Harris said she "can't speak for policymakers in Washington about the potential outcomes of cooperation, but I think a passporting program could be very interesting." The crypto asset industry has been lobbying officials to explore a passporting program between the US and the UK, allowing companies licensed in one market to operate in the other without undergoing a full authorization process. Simon Jennings, executive director of the UK CryptoAssets Business Council, said: “Harmonised regulation, including the potential for digital asset passports, would enhance investor protection, reduce compliance costs and make cross-border markets more interoperable.”
