Farage Under Pressure from Labour Party to Publicly Explain £5 Million Crypto Billionaire Grant
According to the Guardian, Labour Party chairwoman Anna Turley has written to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, demanding that he cease evading scrutiny over a £5 million personal donation from Thai cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne and provide a “clear and truthful account.” The donation was exposed by the Guardian in April this year; shortly thereafter, Farage suspended his previously weekly press conferences. The matter is now under investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. The Labour Party accuses Farage of repeatedly changing his story—first claiming the funds were intended for lifelong security, then later describing them as a “reward” from Harborne for his role in pushing Brexit—and questions the source of funding for his property purchases, including a £1.4 million cash purchase in Surrey and a Kent seaside villa slated for renovation at an estimated cost of around £700,000. Farage maintains that these properties are unrelated to the donation and that the purchase funds came from a £1.5 million fee he received for appearing on an ITV reality TV show.
UK Prime Minister accuses Nigel Farage of dodging questions over £5 million donation from crypto billionaire
Odaily reports, the UK Prime Minister has accused Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, demanding he stop avoiding questions regarding a £5 million personal donation from Thai crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, and questioning why the sum was kept confidential.The donation was made several months before Nigel Farage participated in the 2024 general election and is currently under investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to determine whether it should have been declared. In response, Nigel Farage stated that he was not an MP at the time and therefore was not required to report it to the authorities. Additionally, another crypto entrepreneur, Ben Delo, also donated £4 million to the party. (The Guardian)
British sprint star CJ Ujah charged in crypto fraud case
according to a UK police announcement, former World Athletics Championships 4x100m relay gold medalist and British sprinter CJ Ujah, along with nine other individuals, has been charged with "conspiracy to defraud" in connection with a cryptocurrency fraud case.Police stated that the criminal gang posed as police and cryptocurrency company personnel to conduct phone scams against multiple victims, tricking them into disclosing critical wallet security information, including seed phrases. The perpetrators then transferred the victims' crypto assets, with one victim losing over £300,000. The case was cracked following a joint investigation by the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) across Kent, Essex, and London. The ten suspects have appeared in court, with Ujah released on bail until a further hearing on May 28.Ujah, now 32, won a 4x100m relay gold medal for Team GB at the 2017 World Championships and also claimed the Diamond League title that same year. In 2022, he was suspended for 22 months due to a doping violation, which was later attributed to contamination from a supplement causing an adverse analytical finding. In addition to Ujah, another British sprinter, Brandon Mingeli, is also on the list of those arrested and is currently in custody pending trial. (The Guardian)

Blockaid disclosed on X that the Alephium TokenBridge Ethereum cross-chain bridge was attacked. The attacker compromised three out of four Guardian private keys, forged a Verified Action Approval (VAA) message, and executed the attack within approximately seven minutes, stealing roughly $815,000 worth of assets.

1.4 Trillion Dollar Bitcoin Market Mortgage Protocol Hashi Testnet Goes Live, Over 25 Institutions Participate in Testing
Sui Foundation and Mysten Labs launched the Bitcoin mortgage protocol Hashi testnet on July 22, allowing BTC to provide collateral support for on-chain lending and credit markets without being wrapped into synthetic tokens or bridged across chains. Hashi keeps Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network, with deposits secured by a 2-of-2 multi-signature mechanism that requires simultaneous signatures from Hashi's multi-party computation validators and an independent Guardian Layer. Loan terms and collateral positions are recorded on-chain, allowing lenders to view the collateral backing. Over 25 institutional partners are testing Hashi's lending and credit applications, including Bitgo, Cumberland, FalconX, Ledger, Blockdaemon, Bullish, as well as Sui ecosystem lending platforms Navi and Scallop. Wave Digital Assets has committed to advancing a three-year Bitcoin yield bond tokenization plan on Sui after the Hashi mainnet launch. Hashi has not yet announced a mainnet launch date. Sui previously unveiled the Hashi development network phase in March, positioning the protocol as a solution to improve capital efficiency for the approximately 1.4 trillion dollar Bitcoin market.

HSBC Completes First Digital-Native Structured Product Issuance in Hong Kong
According to The Defiant, HSBC completed the first private placement of a digital-native structured product in Hong Kong, with USD-denominated notes issued directly on the blockchain (rather than digitized after issuance). Marketnode served as the tokenization agent and digital payment agent, responsible for managing the flow of funds between the issuer and investors. This issuance was positioned as a pilot project aimed at verifying the application potential of tokenization technology throughout the product's full lifecycle (issuance, settlement, ongoing servicing). It is a continuation of HSBC's multi-year strategic layout in the digital asset sector. Previously, the bank launched the HSBC Orion tokenization platform and retail gold tokens, and participated in the Monetary Authority of Singapore's Project Guardian alongside Marketnode and UOB.
