According to market news, Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, is facing a parliamentary standards review for receiving an undisclosed grant of approximately £5 million from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne. Christopher Harborne resides in Thailand and holds a 12% stake in the stablecoin issuer Tether.

Nigel Farage stated that the grant was intended to ensure his personal safety and not for political activities. However, the Conservative Party and the Labour Party accused him of violating the House of Commons rules requiring members to declare earnings received in the 12 months prior to their election, and have requested the parliamentary standards commissioner to investigate. Reform UK responded that the funds are classified as "personal unconditional gifts" that do not need to be declared and are unrelated to elections.

The UK government announced in March this year a suspension of political parties receiving cryptocurrency donations to prevent foreign interference. Previously, Christopher Harborne donated £9 million to Reform UK, setting a record for the largest single political donation by a living individual in the UK; BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo also donated £4 million to the party this year.

Additionally, Farage himself holds a 6.31% stake in the btc-42">Bitcoin treasury company Stack BTC.
