A notable development has hit the crypto markets. In brief Labour MP Phil Brickell has reported Nigel Farage to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, alleging he lobbied the Bank of England on crypto policy that could benefit his biggest donor. The complaint centers on a private September 2025 meeting in which Farage reportedly urged Governor Andrew Bailey to drop plans for a state-run digital pound.
Farage received an undeclared £5 million ($6. 7 million) gift from Tether investor Christopher Harborne, who has separately given Reform UK a further £15 million.
Crypto markets are watching this development closely as investors weigh its potential impact on prices.
