Two crypto billionaires just dropped £72M ($96M) on Reform UK in 24 hours. That's more than every UK party raised last year combined.
Ben Delo (BitMEX co-founder): £36M upfront to dodge Labour's donation cap
Christopher Harborne (Tether investor): Matched it same day
Delo's move was surgical. Paid the full election cycle upfront instead of monthly installments. Beat any regulatory cap before it could land.
Previous UK donation record? £10M. They tripled it overnight.
The message is clear: Reform UK is now the crypto-friendly party in Britain. Whether you like big money in politics or not, this changes the game. Crypto has a seat at the table now.
