As reported by Cryptopolitan, Farage is already working on the deregulation of the crypto industry, hoping to breathe new life into the UK crypto industry should his party come to power. For Farage, the UK financial services industry has become anemic since its management by both the Conservatives and Labour parties.

According to the Electoral Commission‘s guidelines, crypto donations are not illegal under electoral law, though they should be classified as non-cash donations and evaluated in pounds. In addition, parties have to confirm the donor’s identity, especially if the donation exceeds 500 pounds.

Secondly, the Reform UK party received a £9M ($12 million) donation from Christopher Harborne, a crypto investor. The Trump playbook has roots. According to Reuters, Farage is a friend of United States President Donald Trump.

Two-thirds of Reform‘s funds in the last year have come from Harborne. He has stated in court filings that he owns 12% of Bitfinex, a crypto exchange that is a subsidiary of Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer.

Christopher Harborne had previously been one of the biggest individual donors in politics, donating over £10 million in installments to Farages Brexit Party for their 2019 campaign.

Nigel Farage also received £28,000 (around $37,609) from Harborne to attend the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

Nigel Farages crypto investments are “a scandal hiding in plain sight”

It has been reported that Farages political campaign is now starting to resemble a giveaway show, offering massive financial gains for everyone.

As long as investors become convinced that Nigel Farage will eventually take control of No 10 Downing Street – and that a Reform government will work to promote his crypto stakeholders – the positive outcome becomes self-fulfilling.

This is not only an investment in Bitcoin; it is an investment in political influence and power. Should this new era of Bitcoin materialize in the United Kingdom, Stack BTC is well-positioned for strong business.

While Trumps playbook may prove successful in the US, Farage sells Reform UK as a way to circumvent elites, support technological innovations, and give power back to “the people”.

To many investors, Trump has not held his end of the bargain, neither will Farage.
