Crypto political donations are here – is the UK ready?

Cryptocurrency is reshaping global finance and, increasingly, international politics. What was once something that only happened abroad has reached British shores, with the first crypto donation to a UK political party reportedly made this month. This marks a decisive shift in UK political finance, one that current laws and enforcement mechanisms are not equipped to handle. Unsurprisingly, a regulatory framework built for the analogue age cannot be expected to effectively secure democratic integrity in a digital one.
