A UK lawmaker has asked the financial authorities to investigate Nigel Farage’s promotion of a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury firm, raising concerns about potential market abuse and conflicts of interest due to the politician’s potential ties to the crypto industry.

Farage’s Stack BTC Video Prompts Scrutiny
On Monday, UK Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper asked the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) CEO, Nikhil Rathi, to investigate Reform UK leader and Member of Parliament (MP) Nigel Farage over his ties to the crypto industry.

In the letter, the lawmaker highlighted Farage’s recent appearance in a promotional video for crypto treasury firm Stack BTC, in which he is also an investor, showing him purchasing roughly £2 million in Bitcoin.

As reported by Bitcoinist, the Reform UK leader bought 37 BTC, worth around $2.7 million, on Monday on behalf of the company, becoming the first sitting British MP and party leader to publicly back Bitcoin, Stack BTC noted.

Despite the triumph for crypto in British Politics, Cooper considers that Farage’s Bitcoin promotion, alongside his repeated support for digital assets, “raises extremely serious questions about potential market abuse, a conflict of interest, and exposure of ordinary people to financial harm.”

The lawmaker highlighted Farage’s campaigns to expand the use of digital assets in the UK, including establishing a Bitcoin reserve fund, reducing capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, and enacting legal safeguards to prevent banks from terminating accounts associated with digital currency transactions.

“Taken together, these facts beg the question whether Mr Farage is promoting cryptocurrencies through his political platform in order to inflate crypto values for his own financial benefit, as well as that of his party

On-chain data shows altcoins like XRP and Solana are observing a higher amount of investor loss relative to their market caps than Bitcoin.

XRP & Solana Are Observing A High Value On The Relative Unrealized Loss
In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about how the Relative Unrealized Loss compares between the various top coins in the cryptocurrency sector. The “Unrealized Loss” is an indicator that keeps track of the total amount of loss that’s held by investors as a whole on a given digital asset network.

The metric works by going through the transaction history of each coin on the blockchain to determine the last price at which it was involved in a move. If this previous transfer value was more than the current spot price for any token, then that particular token is considered to be held at an unrealized loss right now.

The exact amount of loss held by the coin is naturally equal to the difference between the two prices. The Relative Unrealized Loss, which is the version of the metric that’s of relevance here, sums up this difference for all loss tokens and finds what percentage of the market cap that it makes up for.

A counterpart metric called the Relative Unrealized Profit finds the same for the profit portion of the supply. That is, the tokens that have a cost basis lower than the current spot price. Now, here is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in the Relative Unrealized Loss for the four top cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana.

As is visible in the above graph, the Relative Unrealized Loss has witnessed a rise across the sector during the last few months. This increase is a natural consequence of the bearish price action that the various assets have seen in this w

VerifiedX brings privacy layer to Bitcoin as institutional demand for confidentiality grows

A growing push to bring privacy to public blockchains has reached Bitcoin, with VerifiedX unveiling a new layer designed to shield transactions while maintaining auditability.

The system, called Prism, enables encrypted balances, shielded addresses and selective disclosure, allowing users to transact privately while still proving compliance when required, according to an emailed announcement shared with CoinDesk on Thursday.

The timing reflects a broader shift across the industry. The XRP Ledger this week introduced zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) capabilities aimed squarely at institutional users seeking to transact without exposing sensitive data on public ledgers.

That effort highlights what many see as a core barrier to institutional adoption: transparency. While public blockchains provide trust through openness, they also expose balances, counterparties and transaction flows — something institutions typically avoid in traditional finance (TradFi).

Any such development carries added weight when applied to Bitcoin. As the largest digital asset — worth more than the rest of the crypto market combined at times — Bitcoin remains the primary gateway for institutional capital. That means improvements to its functionality, particularly around privacy and usability, have the potential to influence the entire sector more profoundly than similar upgrades on smaller networks.

VerifiedX is applying this model directly to Bitcoin-linked activity rather than building a separate privacy chain. Assets can move between transparent and shielded states, while “viewing keys” enable selective access for auditors or regulators.

Beyond payments, the system supports programmable use cases such as private lending, trading and automated transactions, including agent-driven financ

Where Tokenized Assets Are Today

Tokenization is moving from concept to allocation. What matters now is how these assets fit into portfolios and what they actually enable.

Your clients are already hearing and asking about tokenized assets, and that trend will only accelerate.

In the last 18 months, companies like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity Investments have launched real products on the blockchain, including Treasury funds and private credit strategies. Investors are taking notice. The numbers are rising, the news is easy to track, and the basic idea is
