In a speech on Monday, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey criticized Reform Party leader Nigel Farage's stance on Bitcoin, calling him "Liz Truss with a Bitcoin account." Healey stated that Farage wants the public to believe he is a representative of the common people, but on economic issues, he is simply "Liz Truss with a Bitcoin account." Liz Truss is the UK's shortest-serving Prime Minister, widely criticized for her 2022 mini-budget driven by debt. Healey also mentioned that his party, the Labour Party, will help the UK lead through fiscal discipline, good jobs, and a strong industry.Farage has long been a political supporter of cryptocurrency, primarily viewing Bitcoin as a matter of personal freedom since 2020, and opposing state control over currency. He has stated that he was denied banking services by the UK private bank Coutts, which led him to take a greater interest in digital assets. Last year, at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, he claimed that if elected Prime Minister, he would cut crypto capital gains tax and force the Bank of England to establish Bitcoin reserves.Farage has faced criticism this year for accepting donations from cryptocurrency entrepreneurs, including tech entrepreneur and Tether investor Christopher Harborne, as well as Ben Delo, one of the founders of the now-closed crypto exchange BitMEX. The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into reports of Reform violating overseas donation rules, with Reform denying any wrongdoing and stating that they will cooperate.

The government of Kazakhstan is promoting the use of associated gas to power cryptocurrency mining, in order to restore the mining industry affected by power restrictions. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed a decree in July requiring the establishment of mechanisms for enterprises to conduct digital mining using associated gas.Daniyar Mubarakov, head of the Blockchain and Digital Mining Association, stated that the total amount of associated gas in Kazakhstan can be converted into 1.2 to 1.3 terawatt-hours of electricity, sufficient to support medium or large data centers or Bitcoin mines in some oil fields. The Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan estimates that there are up to 60 oil fields in the country producing associated gas. Oil companies can sell waste gas to miners, reducing disposal costs by millions of dollars, while miners can lock in electricity prices for years, reducing dependence on grid power.The government of Kazakhstan is developing a relevant legal framework to clarify the operational rules for enterprises and regulate the market. Gizzat Baitursynov, Deputy Minister of AI and Digital Development of Kazakhstan, stated that this mechanism will increase government tax revenue and improve the environment.

According to the Financial Times, the South Korean Deputy Prime Minister recently stated, "Artificial intelligence should be regarded as a fundamental infrastructure like 'electricity,' and every South Korean citizen should be able to use it affordably without worrying about costs." Last year, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung stated that this technology has brought South Korea to "a significant historical turning point," and asked, "Are we going to continue to act as followers who may be left behind, or become leaders who can seize unlimited opportunities?" To answer this question, the government last month selected domestic telecom companies SK Telecom and KT, as well as internet service provider Kakao, to lead the implementation of the "Universal Artificial Intelligence" plan, aimed at allowing South Korea's 51.6 million citizens to use services similar to ChatGPT and personal AI assistants for free. The South Korean Deputy Prime Minister clearly stated on social media that despite concerns that technology may spiral out of control and lead to catastrophic consequences, South Korea remains determined to become "one of the top three countries in artificial intelligence." He wrote, "Currently, we have no room to slow down the pace of artificial intelligence development. We will accelerate, but we will do so more safely."
