Germany's Centre Right Alliance (CDU/CSU), led by Friedrich Merz, has secured the most seats in the recent parliamentary election, garnering 28.52% of the vote. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) followed with 20.8%. Despite no party achieving a majority, a coalition government is expected to be formed. Mark Foster, from the Crypto Council for Innovation, indicated that the election results could create a more innovation-friendly environment, potentially benefiting policies surrounding digital assets and the digital euro. He does not anticipate drastic changes immediately following the election, given the incumbents' recent efforts to pass legislation aligned with the EU's Markets in Crypto Assets. The newly elected parliament will now need to elect a new chancellor and head of the federal government. Overall, the election's impact on the cryptocurrency landscape appears limited, with ongoing implementation of existing EU laws remaining intact.
