Reform UK’s Crypto Stance Comes Under Pressure

[bonk]

A crypto donation ban would be a setback for Reform UK, which announced last year that it would accept crypto contributions. Party leader Nigel Farage has promoted a pro-crypto agenda, including advocating for a national Bitcoin reserve.

Although Reform UK says it does not allow anonymous crypto donations, scrutiny has intensified after the party received a record £9 million cash donation from early crypto investor Christopher Harborne. The donation was fully disclosed and legal, but it has added fuel to the debate around money, crypto, and politics.

even if donations are “legal,” the optics here are kinda rough
