Crypto goes political in Europe
-

Following Trump’s crypto-centric campaign in the US, European right-wing parties are increasingly courting crypto-aligned voters.
UK: Nigel Farage’s Reform Party accepts crypto donations and proposed a bill to limit capital gains taxes on digital assets. Donations from investors, including Christopher Harborne, have already poured in.
France: Marine Le Pen shifted from opposing Bitcoin in 2016 to supporting crypto regulation and even mining proposals using surplus nuclear energy.
Poland: Libertarian far-right leader Sławomir Mentzen pledged a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and supportive policies for crypto businesses, securing nearly 15% of votes in the presidential election.
Crypto is becoming not just an investment tool, but a strategic political lever across Europe.
