📰 THE FULL STORY

BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo gave Reform UK 36 million on Friday, the largest single donation in British political history. A day later, Tether investor Christopher Harborne matched it, citing his competitive spirit and saying he expected nothing personally.

The 72 million total exceeds the roughly 69 million that all UK parties took in donations last year. Neither Delo's nor Harborne's recent or previous donations were made in crypto, since Britain banned crypto political donations in March.

Reform said the money would fund policy staff and 400 campaign managers, one per target seat, as the party moves onto election footing. CoinDesk reported that Nigel Farage's Reform UK landed 97 million in donations from two crypto billionaires in 24 hours.
