[UK Electoral Commission Plans to Update Crypto Donation Guidelines, Reform UK Receives First Crypto Donation] The UK Electoral Commission plans to 'update soon' its guidance on cryptocurrency donations to enhance transparency and address regulatory gaps. Reportedly, Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has received its first cryptocurrency donation, though the specific amount and type of cryptocurrency have not been disclosed. According to UK electoral law, donations exceeding £11,180 must be reported, and donations over £500 must come from 'eligible donors.' Political parties are required to verify donor identities and have the right to reject anonymous or non-compliant donations. The Commission stated that no political party has formally reported crypto donations yet, but several parties are exploring this area. According to *The Observer*, the donation was pre-notified to regulatory authorities and did not violate relevant regulations.
