UK Prime Minister Change? Crypto Industry Can't Wait
UK Prime Minister Starmer has announced his resignation, and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is a hot favorite to succeed him. Unlike Starmer's cautious approach to crypto, Burnham has publicly supported Web3 multiple times, aiming to turn Manchester into a hub for crypto innovation. Once in office, he’s likely to revisit the temporary ban on political donations in crypto set to take effect in March 2026. However, the FCA's regulatory framework and the 2027 timeline remain unchanged for now. Meanwhile, the Bank of England has relaxed stablecoin regulations on the same day — removing personal holding limits and setting a £40 billion issuance cap per stablecoin. The UK's crypto policy is at a crucial inflection point, and it’s worth keeping an eye on.
