Seven UK committee chairs urge Keir Starmer to prohibit political donations made in cryptocurrency

Seven Labour MPs who chair UK parliamentary committees have written to Prime Minister Keir Starmer asking for a ban on political donations in cryptocurrency to be written into an upcoming elections bill. They argue that crypto-based funding can obscure the source of money, enable undisclosed micro-donations and increase the risk of foreign interference, a move that could particularly impact Reform UK's previously announced plans to accept crypto.
