Major political parties remain silent on crypto ahead of UK election

The Labour Party, the favorite to win tomorrow’s UK election, barely mentioned cryptocurrencies during the campaign, and uncertainty remains about the future of the country’s crypto industry. Aside from briefly stating that it wants the UK to become a tokenization hub and supporting plans for a digital pound, the party has been silent on cryptocurrencies. The topic did not come up during the last debate between Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour MP Keir Starmer, which was focused on welfare, immigration and relations with the European Union. While the Conservative government has introduced a range of cryptocurrency policies, its current manifesto does not mention it. (CoinDesk)
