Kwasi Kwarteng says he is buying bitcoin via Stack BTC as he warns of a UK market 'doom loop' and faltering fiscal tools. His public move is a notable signal from a senior political figure toward BTC.
The UK will prohibit political parties from accepting cryptocurrency donations, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on March 26, 2026, saying contributions are suspended until stronger oversight is established. The move is part of a wider push for tighter controls on digital-asset influence in politics.
The UK's security chief has called for a temporary ban on cryptocurrency donations to political parties amid security and transparency concerns. The appeal follows Reform UK's move last May to accept Bitcoin and other digital assets.
The UK's advertising regulator has blocked a music-led Coinbase ad—already barred from TV—calling it "irresponsible" for downplaying crypto risks. The wider prohibition extends scrutiny of the spot beyond broadcast channels.
On September 30, 2025, IG Group secured a cryptoasset license from the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), empowering it to operate fully in cryptocurrency markets. This regulatory approval marks a significant step for IG Group to expand its crypto offerings and provides greater confidence for UK crypto investors.
