Kemi Badenoch has been elected as the new leader of the Conservative Party following a leadership election triggered by former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's resignation. Badenoch won against Robert Jenrick in a contest that unfolded over four months. During her tenure, Badenoch has been relatively quiet on cryptocurrency matters, despite the Conservative Party's historical support for a pro-crypto stance, which includes efforts to regulate digital assets. Previously, she held roles such as shadow secretary of state for housing and served as secretary of state for business and trade, underscoring her focus on the economy and the necessity for appropriate regulation of financial services.
