British Chancellor criticizes Farage's stance on cryptocurrencies
In a speech on Monday, British Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healy criticized Reform Party leader Nigel Farage's pro-Bitcoin stance and compared Farage's economic policies and views on cryptocurrencies with former Prime Minister Elizabeth Trasse.
Healy named Farage for his Bitcoin advocacy
When talking about the Reform Party's growing popularity, Healy described Farage as "Terrace with a Bitcoin account", taking a reference to Terrace's short and controversial political career during his tenure as prime minister in 2022 due to the release of the controversial mini-budget. Healey added that despite Farage's self-proclaimed populist reputation, his credibility in financial management skills was questionable.
Healey pointed out that the Labor Party he represents will guide the UK towards economic stability by prioritizing fiscal discipline and supporting strong domestic industries.
Farage's historical origin with digital assets and donations
As an important figure in British politics and the current leader of the Reform Party, Nigel Farage has been actively promoting cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, as a tool for personal freedom and resistance to government regulation. Since 2020, Farage has viewed Bitcoin as a force against the state's monopoly on the currency, a stance that resonates with some voters seeking traditional financial alternatives.
法拉奇曾透露自己曾被知名英国私人银行库茨银行(Coutts)“断贷”,这一经历加剧了他对数字资产和金融自主权的兴趣。
在去年于拉斯维加斯举行的比特币大会上,法拉奇表示致力于降低加密资产资本利得税,并承诺若当选执政,将指示英格兰银行持有比特币储备。
此外,法拉奇因其接受行业巨头的大额加密货币捐赠而备受关注。科技企业家、Tether投资者克里斯托弗·哈伯纳以及现已停业的BitMEX交易所创始人本·德洛,均向法拉奇的竞选活动捐赠了数百万加密货币。

来自加密社区的回应
Healy's remarks quickly triggered a response online. Several Bitcoin supporters have questioned its wording, particularly its use of the term "Bitcoin account," which has been widely ridiculed for its lack of accuracy.
The account "Simply Bitcoin" on the X platform commented that this tagging shows a lack of understanding of basic industry concepts of British financial regulators.
At the same time, censorship surrounding the sources of Farage's crypto funds has also intensified. The Metropolitan Police in London has launched an investigation to verify whether the Reform Party violated rules on overseas donations. Reform party officials insist they have complied with all rules and have expressed their willingness to fully cooperate with authorities in the investigation.
