CryptoUK, a leading cryptocurrency trade association in the United Kingdom, is joining forces with The Digital Chamber, a prominent U.S.-based crypto policy advocacy group, in a move that signifies growing cross-border collaboration on digital asset regulation. The partnership aims to create a unified advocacy platform that spans both the UK and the US, fostering a more coordinated approach to shaping crypto policy.
In a statement released on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, CryptoUK announced that its team would operate under The Digital Chamber's umbrella, forming a "unified, cross-border advocacy platform". Both organizations have been actively promoting favorable policies for the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors in their respective countries, with The Digital Chamber established in 2014 and CryptoUK in 2018.
Su Carpenter, the executive director of CryptoUK, emphasized the association's commitment to policy-driven initiatives, member collaboration, and regulatory engagement. "CryptoUK is a proven leading voice in the UK, and we are excited to create such a strong bond to expand our global policy expertise". Cody Carbone, CEO of the Digital Chamber, stated, “We are proud to welcome CryptoUK under The Digital Chamber umbrella. This move strengthens our ability to champion the work our members are building and to advocate for them across global markets".
This partnership emerges as U.S. lawmakers are progressing in negotiations to pass a digital asset market structure bill, aiming to provide regulatory clarity for the industry. Meanwhile, UK policymakers have announced intentions to collaborate with their U.S. counterparts to explore crypto laws and regulations. The alliance also follows TDC's State Network launch in November, an effort to push for digital asset policies in state and local government, with a goal to boost pro-crypto candidates at every level of government as the 2026 midterm races take shape.
The Digital Chamber officially launched The Digital Chamber's State Network (TDC State Network) on November 17, 2025, to advocate for transformative digital asset policies in state and local government. As a part of the launch, three inaugural efforts were unveiled: a partnership with Future Caucus, a state advocacy tour, and a microloans program to elevate innovative policy efforts across the U.S..
In the United States, crypto advocacy groups like The Digital Chamber have gained support from former regulators and members of Congress, as the Trump administration directs policies toward the industry. Notable organizations in this space include the Solana Policy Institute, the Blockchain Association, the Crypto Council for Innovation, and the American Innovation Project.
In a related development, the Bank of England has taken a significant step forward regarding stablecoins. On November 10, the central bank released a consultation paper proposing a framework for "sterling-denominated systemic stablecoins". This initiative is perceived as the UK's effort to align with the U.S., where the government enacted a law regulating payment stablecoins.
The Crypto and Digital Assets All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) provides an essential forum for parliamentarians, regulators, government, and industry to come together and discuss the key challenges and opportunities facing the UK's crypto and digital assets sector. CryptoUK serves as the Secretariat for the Crypto and Digital Assets APPG, supporting its mission to engage policymakers and advance effective regulation for the UK crypto and digital asset sector.
