Following the resignation of Boris Johnson announced back in July 2022, Truss is set to take office as early as Tuesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ENG-Devices-1-banner-728x90-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ENG-Devices-1-banner-320x100-1.png\"><\/p>\n<p>The new prime minister of the United Kingdom https:\/\/t.co\/3DaLdxBjsA<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Truss&rsquo;s emergence has sparked excitement within the crypto community. Digital asset proponents cited a tweet from 2018 suggesting a pro-crypto stance from the new UK Prime Minister.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2018, Truss tweeted that cryptocurrencies should be welcomed and restrictive regulations should be put to bed. However, the lawmaker has not publicly voiced support for cryptos since then or championed friendly regulations, per reports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We should welcome #cryptocurrencies in a way that doesn&#8217;t constrain their potential. Liberate free enterprise areas by removing regulations that restrict prosperity. #PolicyExchange #futureoffreedom #shakeup<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Conservative-Party-Leader-Liz-Truss.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>UK Prime Minister Could Continue Crypto Regulatory Journey<\/h2>\n<p>In contrast, ex-Treasury Head Rishi Sunak openly angled the United Kingdom&rsquo;s financial ecosystem towards digital assets and cryptocurrencies. Back in April 2022, Sunak&rsquo;s Treasury released a consultation package geared toward legalizing stablecoins like Circle&rsquo;s USDC as a payment method.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As EWN reported, the publication also said the Royal Mint would facilitate government-issued non fungible tokens (NFTs) as part of plans to position the United Kingdom as a crypto-friendly jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, a pro-crypto UK Prime Minister could pave the way for a standardized digital asset economy that incentivizes innovation. At press time, regulators like the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have cracked down on crypto companies like firms like Blockchain.com forced to consider other locations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Former-Chancellor-For-The-Exchequer-Rishi-Sunak-scaled.jpeg\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/uk-prime-minister-lizz-truss-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: Liz Truss is set to emerge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":163226,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
