The UK government has implemented an immediate ban on cryptocurrency donations to political parties and set a limit on annual political donations from British citizens living abroad at £100,000. According to NS3.AI, these measures took effect on March 25 and are being incorporated into the Representation of the People Bill with retrospective application. Political parties will have 30 days after the bill's passage to return any non-compliant donations. This decision follows the Rycroft Review and is in response to Christopher Harborne, who reportedly holds a 12% stake in Tether, having contributed over £24 million to Reform UK and its predecessor movements since 2019. The crypto donation moratorium is a temporary measure linked to future advancements in traceability and regulation.

A U.S. court has sentenced Robert Dunlap, the operator behind the Meta-1 Coin crypto scam, to 23 years in prison for defrauding approximately 1,000 investors between 2018 and 2023, with the fraud amounting to over $20 million. According to ChainCatcher, Dunlap falsely claimed that the Meta-1 Coin was backed by $44 billion in gold reserves and $1 billion in art pieces by Picasso, Dalí, and Van Gogh, promising returns as high as 224,923%. He provided investors with fake audit documents and insurance materials. Investigations revealed that the purported assets did not exist, and the Meta Exchange website used automated trading bots to create a false impression of profitability. The tokens were never actually issued on the blockchain, and investor funds were spent on luxury items, including a Ferrari. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had filed a civil fraud lawsuit against Dunlap in 2020, but he continued operating the project until facing criminal charges in 2024. The FBI stated that the scheme destroyed the wealth and trust accumulated by many victims over the years.

Figure Technology Solutions, founded by Mike Cagney, is working to revolutionize the traditional credit market infrastructure using blockchain technology. According to Odaily, the company aims to bring loans, real-world assets (RWA), and even stocks onto the blockchain, with the goal of eliminating traditional intermediaries and establishing a new foundation for Wall Street. In March, Figure's loan issuance surpassed $1 billion for the first time, with a total issuance of $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026, and an annualized scale of approximately $12 billion. Mike Cagney highlighted that tokenizing loans can significantly reduce securitization costs and traditional intermediary fees. This approach enhances liquidity through continuously updated credit markets and allows on-chain credit assets to directly integrate with the DeFi ecosystem, broadening investor participation. The company's Forge platform can package loans into standardized asset pools and convert them into tokens usable as collateral in DeFi protocols. Currently, Figure is advancing its operations within the Solana ecosystem and plans to expand to Ethereum. Additionally, the company has launched YLDS, a yield-bearing stablecoin backed by traditional assets like U.S. Treasury bonds, with a scale of about $600 million. They are also exploring stock tokenization and on-chain staking and lending. Mike Cagney believes blockchain will be one of the most transformative technologies, redefining the future structure of financial markets.
