According to Reuters, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said on Wednesday that his party has begun accepting cryptocurrency donations, but he denied that this was an attempt to emulate US President Trump's strategy of seeking support from the digital asset industry. At a cryptocurrency conference in London, Farage attempted to position himself as the "only hope" for UK crypto businesses. He revealed that Reform UK has received several crypto donations, but did not disclose specifics. When asked if any crypto companies were donors, he said, "Not that I know of," adding that "there may have been some sponsorship from conferences." Currently, the Reform Party holds only five seats in the 650-seat parliament, but opinion polls show it leading. The next general election is due in 2029. Farage emphasized that he publicly supported cryptocurrencies before Trump and mentioned that he holds crypto investments for a long time, "occasionally having fun when the market is good."
