  • Labour Party chair asked the FCA to probe Nigel Farage’s crypto advocacy for possible benefit to donor Christopher Harborne.
  • Harborne has given Reform UK £9 million in 2023, £3 million this year and £25 million—two-thirds of its funding—and Farage’s undisclosed £5 million gift from him has sparked a Westminster standards probe.
  • Farage tried to block the Bank of England’s currency plan that could cut demand for Tether, in which Harborne holds a 12 percent stake.
