Mark Carney Elected as Canada’s Prime Minister: Crypto Policy Shift Looms

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has been re-elected following a close race against Bitcoin advocate Pierre Poilievre, signaling imminent changes in the country’s cryptocurrency regulatory landscape. Carney’s focus on economic stability could lead to stricter crypto regulations and increased scrutiny of decentralized finance (DeFi), potentially impacting startups in the blockchain space. 2025’s election result marks a shift in Canadian crypto policy, as Carney’s skepticism towards Bitcoin’s long-term value likely influences his future regulatory stances.
