 The UK government expects new regulations on stablecoins and staking services to roll out in the country within the next six months, Economic Secretary to His Majesty’s Treasury (HMT), Bim Afolami, has noted.
 According to a Bloomberg report, the government is focused on having the legislation in place this year as part of the overall push for regulatory clarity for the crypto sector.
 “We’re very clear that we want to get these things done as soon as possible. And I think over the next six months, those things are doable,” Afolami said during an event hosted by Coinbase in London.
 Afolami’s comments come as observers point to the government’s plans to have the crypto regulation regime in place before the elections. While he could not provide a specific timeline on when to expect the broader crypto regulations, Afolami agreed that “there’s just a huge amount going on.”
