CFS Launches Project on Cryptocurrencies in UK Politics

16 Oct 2025 11:52 AM

The Centre for Finance and Security's new project examines the risk of opaque, foreign or malign influence entering UK politics through cryptocurrency donations.

The Cryptocurrencies in UK Politics project, with funding from the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust, will deliver the first in-depth UK assessment of the democratic, security, and transparency risks posed by political donations made in cryptocurrency.

It will benchmark the UK's current and proposed frameworks against international practice, highlight vulnerabilities, and develop targeted recommendations for reform.
