英国收紧选举资金规定,Tether 股东等加密亿万富翁对英国改革党的捐款或受限

Main takeaway: The UK tightened election funding rules, extending foreign-donor limits to a migrant’s first year and judging corporate donations by five-year after-tax profits. It builds on a March ban on crypto political donations and may limit major donors to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK—Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo—if they’ve lived in the UK under a year, capping single-year donations at £100,000; Reform UK says those donations weren’t in crypto and didn’t break rules.

Foresight News 消息,据 Decrypt 报道,英国政府宣布新一轮选举资金监管措施,规定海外捐款上限延伸至新移居英国者的第一年居留期,企业捐款审查标准也改为以五年税后利润为依据。新规建立在今年 3 月已实施的禁止加密货币政治捐款政策基础上,可能对 Nigel Farage 领导的英国改革党产生较大影响。该党两大加密资产背景捐款人分别为 Tether 持股 12% 的股东 Christopher Harborne(累计捐款 1200 万英镑)和 BitMEX 联合创始人 Ben Delo(累计捐款约 400 万英镑),二人均已表示有意在英国登记选民资格。新规实施后,二人若在英国居留不满一年,单年捐款上限将被限制在 10 万英镑以内。英国改革党表示,上述捐款均未以加密货币形式进行,未违反任何规定。
