Sunak Vs. Truss On Crypto in UK

Sunak was definitely the favorite for many crypto enthusiasts in the UK. He, along with the former Economic Secretary of the Treasury John Glen, wanted to make the UK the crypto capital of the world. Sunak tried to regulate stablecoins to make them an acceptable form of payment in the UK.  

He also wanted a Financial Conduct Authority-led “crypto sprint”. He also wanted to create a new NFT with the help of the Royal Mint. Moreover, he was also in support of giving legal status to decentralized autonomous organizations or DAO.

However, Truss has also supported cryptocurrencies in the past. One of her Twitter statements on cryptocurrencies has been doing rounds on social media. Moreover, she believes in welcoming cryptocurrencies and not restricting their potential. She is also in favor of liberating enterprises from regulations that restricted their prosperity.
