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

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Ripple has partnered with Kyobo Life Insurance, one of the largest life insurers in South Korea, to pilot a blockchain-based system for government bond settlement. This marks a significant step toward bringing blockchain technology into traditional financial markets.

Using Ripple Custody, the project will enable the issuance, storage, and settlement of tokenized government bonds. The aim is to replace traditional systems that rely on multiple intermediaries and take up to two days for settlement. With blockchain technology, transactions can be completed almost instantly, improving efficiency and reducing counterparty risk.

Kyobo Life is also exploring further use cases, including stablecoin-based payment systems and integration with treasury and liquidity management solutions. This reflects a growing shift toward digital financial infrastructure in South Korea.

The move comes as South Korea continues to develop a regulatory framework for tokenized securities, officially recognizing them within the financial system. This is expected to improve market liquidity and create new investment opportunities.

Overall, this partnership shows that blockchain technology is now ready for real-world institutional use.

The Bitcoin network has formally passed the halfway mark in its four-year march to the 2028 halving as of April 15, 2026. Since the fourth halving happened at block 840,000 in April 2024, around 104,4

The Bitcoin network has formally passed the halfway mark in its four-year march to the 2028 halving as of April 15, 2026. Since the fourth halving happened at block 840,000 in April 2024, around 104,400 blocks have been added to the blockchain, which is 50% of the 210,000-block cycle needed to trigger the next reward decrease. The network is maintaining a very steady pace of around 144 blocks per day, so the countdown to the fifth halving at block 1,050,000 is now firmly set. This is currently expected to happen between February and May of 2028.As "digital gold," the basic operations of this event are essential to Bitcoin's value proposition since they automatically impose a limited supply cap of 21 million BTC. When the 2028 mark is reached, the block reward given to miners will fall from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC, therefore lowering daily output from around 450 BTC to 225 BTC. Historically, these halves in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 have been major catalysts for price increase as the abrupt drop in fresh supply frequently conflicts with growing retail and institutional demand.When the network reaches this 2028 threshold, around 93.75% of the entire Bitcoin supply will have been mined, therefore aggravating the asset's scarcity. This shift will put more emphasis on the long-term viability of the network's security as miners grow to depend more on transaction fees than on block subsidies for their income. Although experts disagree on the precise date because of the block-dependent character of the protocol, the 50% milestone attained now confirms that the "halving cycle" remains the pulse of the worldwide cryptocurrency market.Gold is meant to be a 'safe haven' in uncertain times.

EMURGO CEO Praises Hoskinson, Says Midnight Completes Missing Layer in Cardano Architecture



EMURGO CEO Phillip Pon says the launch of Midnight delivers a foundational capability that completes an important missing layer in Cardano architecture.

This aligns with Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson’s commentary that Midnight is designed to complement Cardano, not compete with it.

Key Points

EMURGO CEO Phillip Pon states that the launch of Midnight introduces capabilities missing from the Cardano ecosystem.

Midnight is a dedicated partner chain that integrates with Cardano, adding specialized privacy features.

Beyond the underlying blockchains, Pon explains that $ADA and $NIGHT are designed to work together to strengthen the ecosystem.

He also praises Charles Hoskinson, emphasizing that few founders show the same level of persistence in advancing their projects.

Midnight Completes Missing Architecture in Cardano

In a recent commentary, Pon emphasized that developers built Midnight specifically as a partner chain to Cardano. The network integrates specialized features, particularly privacy and secure data processing, directly into the ecosystem.

As a result, Midnight expands the range of applications developers can build on Cardano and broadens the network’s user base.

Midnight has already achieved notable milestones in recent months, which supporters believe are accelerating ecosystem growth. For example, Midnight secured partnerships with Google Cloud and AlphaTon Capital to explore privacy-focused solutions for Telegram’s self-preserving AI agents.

In addition, U.K.-based Monument Bank has used Midnight’s technology to tokenize customer deposits on a public blockchain.

While these organizations directly leveraged Midnight, their involvement also draws increased attention to Cardano, strengthening the ecosystem.
