CoinDesk reported that Ben Delo, co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, donated 4 million pounds ($5.1 million) to the UK Reform Party. It has not been clearly stated whether this donation was made in cryptocurrency. However, Ben Delo expressed support for the UK's stance, which announced an immediate halt to cryptocurrency donations to specific political parties, citing the risk of inflows of foreign funds with uncertain origins and a lack of traceability.
