BitMEX co-founder contributed 75% of Reform UK’s donations in Q2 2026

Reform UK and leader Nigel Farage have accepted significant financial contributions from crypto industry figures, including a BitMEX co-founder. These donations accounted for 75% of the party's funding during the first and second quarters of 2026. This surge in crypto-backed funding has raised questions regarding potential influence over the UK's political landscape and future crypto regulations, as the party's policy direction may be reshaped by the interests of these industry contributors.
