Crypto leaders have focused on the UK Labor Party ahead of the election.

As the UK prepares for a snap election on July 4, the cryptocurrency industry is strategically turning its attention to Keir Starmer’s Labor Party.

As reported by Bloomberg, this change of course comes amid widespread uncertainty about the future of cryptocurrency regulation in the UK following Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s sudden call for an early election.

Recent events have highlighted the cryptocurrency sector’s proactive efforts to build strong ties with UK lawmakers. For example, just days before Sunak’s announcement, cryptocurrency executives gathered on the House of Commons terrace at an event hosted by Coinbase, demonstrating the industry’s ongoing efforts to influence UK politics.

With representatives from both major political parties in attendance, the cryptocurrency sector is increasingly targeting Labor, which has a significant lead in opinion polls.

The UK’s cryptocurrency regulatory environment is still somewhat fragmented. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has imposed strict rules, including banning UK companies from offering cryptocurrency derivatives and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) to retail consumers.

These measures aim to protect consumers and mitigate potential harm. However, the FCA allows professional investors, including investment firms and credit institutions, to participate in these products under certain conditions.

Currently, the UK’s regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies is limited, with the FCA overseeing anti-money laundering (AML) and terrorist financing (CFT) regulations. Crypto asset service providers must register with the FCA and implement robust AML and CFT measures, including KYC and CDD procedures.

The FCA has also published a discussion paper on regulating fiat-backed stablecoins, aiming to align regulatory standards with existing financial products while taking into account their unique risks.

Given these regulatory issues and the upcoming election, the cryptocurrency industry is keenly focused on Labor’s potential policies. Although Starmer has not explicitly stated his position on cryptocurrencies, Labor’s consistent lead in opinion polls has the industry bracing for a possible shift in political power.

The industry has been working with key figures in the Labor Party, including Labor shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves and shadow cities secretary Tulip Siddiq, and hopes they can lead efforts to revive London’s status as a global financial center post-Brexit.

Last January, Coinbase hosted a breakfast roundtable with Reeves at the World Economic Forum, highlighting the industry’s strategic engagement with Labor leaders. Executives from major venture capital firms and fintech companies participated in the discussion, reflecting their high stake in the cryptocurrency sector.

In addition to high-level engagement, the cryptocurrency industry is also focusing on grassroots outreach to Labor strongholds. This change in strategy aims to move away from a purely market-driven narrative and demonstrate the real benefits of digital assets for ordinary people.

Despite industry efforts, the UK still lags behind other financial centers in enforcing comprehensive cryptocurrency regulation. The European Union (EU) adopted a wide-ranging cryptocurrency bill this month that is expected to implement MiCA.

By contrast, the UK relies on a patchwork of rules, mainly enforced by the FCA. A UK Treasury plan outlined in early 2022 proposed regulating digital assets similarly to traditional financial services, but progress has been slow. The Treasury Department proposed additional regulatory overhauls this year.
