According to Foresight News, seven Labour MPs who chair parliamentary committees have urged the UK government to prohibit cryptocurrency political donations in the forthcoming Election Bill. The letter, co-signed by Liam Byrne, Chair of the Business and Trade Select Committee, and six colleagues, highlights concerns that crypto donations undermine the transparency, traceability, and regulatory effectiveness of political funding. The MPs argue that cryptocurrencies can obscure the true source of funds, facilitate numerous small donations below disclosure thresholds, and expose UK politics to the risk of foreign interference. The Electoral Commission has warned that current technology makes these risks challenging to manage.
