On March 26, the Canadian government proposed the "Strong and Free Elections Act" (Bill C-25), which aims to prohibit political donations to parties and candidates in the form of cryptocurrencies, money orders, and prepaid cards. The reason is that such assets have pseudo-anonymity, making it difficult to verify the identity of donors, posing a risk to electoral integrity. The bill is currently in the first reading stage in the House of Commons.

The UK Labour Party has also recently stated that it will implement a "temporary ban" on political groups accepting cryptocurrency donations until a relevant regulatory framework is established to address the risk of foreign interference in elections. This measure is seen as potentially directly affecting the funding sources of the Reform Party. The party, led by Nigel Farage, has previously received significant donations from individuals in the cryptocurrency industry.
