In the crucial period of the UK general election on July 4, the topic of cryptocurrency has not been at the forefront of politicians’ discussion.
Although opinion polls show Labour leading the election, its campaign has barely touched on cryptocurrencies, focusing instead on broader economic and social issues.
This silence has brought uncertainty to the future of the cryptocurrency industry. Despite this, industry insiders still expect to see clearer regulatory policies after the election.
According to a June poll, Keir Starmer's Labour Party was expected to win the general election with 42% support, while the Conservatives had just 19%.
In this political contest, Labour has shown little interest in cryptocurrencies, with only vague policy references to creating a pro-competitive environment and plans to support a digital pound.
Like Conservative leader Rishi Sunak, Starmer has sidelined cryptocurrency by focusing on issues such as welfare, immigration and relations with the European Union.
Although Sunak’s Conservative government has promoted cryptocurrencies as a policy priority, no significant related proposals have been made in the current election manifesto.
Faced with this situation, some in the cryptocurrency industry remain cautiously optimistic.
They recognize that while the current political climate may not be conducive to clear policy for cryptocurrencies, the industry itself is unstoppable.
With the continuous advancement of technology and the gradual maturity of the market, cryptocurrency is gradually becoming an economic force that cannot be ignored.
Furthermore, as regulatory trends become clearer around the world, UK policymakers may find a more balanced approach to regulating this emerging market in the future.
At the same time, supervision of virtual currency transactions is also being strengthened globally.
Many governments are improving monitoring and early warning mechanisms to increase the efficiency of identifying and handling virtual currency trading speculation activities.
Financial institutions and non-bank payment institutions are expressly prohibited from providing services for virtual currency-related businesses, including account opening and fund transfers.
These measures show that while British politicians have remained silent on the topic of cryptocurrencies during the general election, the regulation and development of cryptocurrencies remains an important issue around the world.
Although the current political environment makes the future development of cryptocurrencies in the UK full of variables, industry insiders still hope that with the end of the general election and the formation of a new government, more clear and friendly regulatory policies will be introduced.
This will not only bring a stable operating environment to the cryptocurrency industry, but also contribute to the UK's technological innovation and economic diversification.
