BitMEX donates $5 million to Reform UK Odaily Planet Daily reported that co-founder Ben Delo has donated approximately £ 4 million (approximately $5.1 million) to Reform UK since the beginning of this year to support the party's development as a "true alternative to governance". Delo did not disclose the form of donation (fiat currency or cryptocurrency), but at the same time expressed support for the UK government's plan to implement a Moratorium on political donations to cryptocurrency assets, citing the high regulatory complexity involved. According to the latest guidelines from the UK Election Commission, donations of encrypted assets are still allowed, but must be valued in pounds at the time of receipt and verified for the donor's identity. The UK government has previously announced an immediate suspension of cryptocurrency political donations as part of its efforts to prevent foreign interference. In addition, in December 2025, another cryptocurrency related investor Christopher Harborne also donated approximately £ 9 million to Reform UK.
