TechFlame news, July 18, according to Cryptonews, UK Cabinet Secretary Pat McFadden called on election officials to consider banning political donations using digital currencies to prevent foreign forces from influencing British politics through untraceable cryptocurrencies.

McFadden told lawmakers that tracking cryptocurrency donations is challenging and urged the Election Commission to review whether current rules apply to the evolving digital age. Earlier, Nigel

Farage announced that his Reformed UK Party would be the first British political party to accept Bitcoin donations.

Anti-corruption groups have warned that such practices could open the door to covert foreign intervention. Labor MP Liam Byrne

emphasized the need to strengthen the resources of the Election Commission and the National Criminal Investigation Service to better monitor political funding.
