UK trade groups urge blockchain technology to be incorporated into US-UK agreement

On the eve of Trump’s visit to the UK next week, several British trade groups urged the government to include blockchain technology in a technology innovation cooperation agreement signed with the United States, according to ChainCatcher. More than a dozen groups representing the financial, technology and cryptocurrency industries said in a letter to the British Business Secretary that distributed ledger technology should become a core component of the "bridge of British and American technology." Trump's state visit will lead a delegation of tech leaders, including OpenAI founder Sam Altman and Nvidia CEO Jan-hon Wong.
