Transatlantic Regulatory Cooperation

Definition ∞ Transatlantic regulatory cooperation involves collaboration and coordination between regulatory authorities in North America and Europe on matters of financial oversight and policy. This cooperation aims to harmonize standards, share information, and address cross-border financial risks. It seeks to ensure consistent and effective regulation across major economic blocs.
Context ∞ For digital assets, transatlantic regulatory cooperation is becoming increasingly vital due to the borderless nature of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency markets. Regulators in the U.S. and E.U. are actively discussing common approaches to issues like stablecoin regulation, market integrity, and anti-money laundering. Such cooperation is essential to prevent regulatory arbitrage and establish a globally consistent framework for digital finance.
