British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that the government plans to suspend political donations to political parties via cryptocurrency to address the risks of illicit financial flows and potential foreign interference. During a parliamentary inquiry, Starmer stated that the measure would be introduced as part of protecting the British democratic system, citing a government assessment that crypto assets could pose "serious illicit financial risks." According to the proposal, the suspension is temporary, designed to buy time for regulatory rules to be finalized. After the new rules take effect, political parties will be required to return any received cryptocurrency donations; failure to comply could result in criminal penalties after a grace period. This policy stems from a review report led by former senior civil servant Philip Rycroft, which recommended suspending cryptocurrency donations until greater transparency is ensured. In recent years, the role of cryptocurrency in British political financing has become increasingly controversial, especially after some political parties accepted large amounts of cryptocurrency donations, leading to rising concerns among regulators about the transparency of funding sources. Odaily previously reported that the British Labour Party had already suspended all cryptocurrency political donations.

Russia is reportedly close to completing the phased delivery of drones, medicines, and food to Iran, according to a Western intelligence report. The delivery process began in early March and is expected to be finalized by the end of the month.

Investment bank Mizuho stated that after acquiring stablecoin infrastructure company BVNK, Mastercard is expected to become a "network connector" linking crypto assets and the fiat currency system, further expanding its payment ecosystem. Analysts point out that stablecoins will not weaken Mastercard's core card payment business; instead, they will become an "accelerator" for its network, especially in areas such as B2B cross-border payments, remittances, and the creator and gig economy, driving faster, lower-cost, and 24/7 fund flows. Mizuho maintains its "outperform" rating on Mastercard and gives it a target price of $666. Analysts believe that in these emerging scenarios, the penetration rate of traditional bank cards remains low, and stablecoins are expected to fill this gap, while card payments will remain a core entry point for consumers. It is understood that Mastercard has agreed to acquire BVNK for up to $1.8 billion. This transaction is seen as an important step in continuing its role as a "network connector," expanding its business to the conversion and settlement between stablecoins and fiat currencies. With the regulatory environment gradually easing and traditional payment giants such as Visa and Stripe accelerating their deployment of stablecoins, stablecoins are becoming an important growth direction for the global payment system.
