UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain will suspend political parties from accepting cryptocurrency donations, citing risks tied to illicit finance and foreign interference. The latest update adds a specific rationale for the move and links it to the March 26 sentencing of former Reform UK Wales leader Nathan Gill, who received 10 and a half years in prison for taking crypto bribes. Earlier reporting had described the measure as a temporary halt under which parties would need to return crypto donations once the rules take effect and could face criminal penalties after a grace period, while the UK continues developing broader digital asset regulation.
