The leader of the UK's Reform Party has been accused of improperly lobbying the central bank against a digital pound, possibly related to undeclared grants.
According to Foresight News , Decrypt reports that Labour MP Phil Brickell has filed a whistleblower complaint with the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner regarding Reform Party leader Nigel Farage's alleged lobbying of the Bank of England. The complaint alleges that Farage's push for crypto policies could benefit his largest donor, Christopher Harborne, a major investor in Tether. The core of the complaint involves a private meeting last September, during which Farage allegedly urged Governor Andrew Bailey to abandon plans to issue a central bank digital currency, "Britcoin." The Bank of England subsequently withdrew its proposed £20,000 cap on individual stablecoin holdings. The investigation focuses on whether there is a connection between this grant and Farage's lobbying activities.

PANews reported on July 3rd, citing Cointelegraph, that Elvira Nabiullina, Governor of the Central Bank of Russia, confirmed that the digital ruble will be launched as planned on September 1st, and is currently "all ready." The digital ruble will supplement the Russian legal tender ruble, initially accepted by financial and credit institutions. Development of this CBDC began in 2021, and the EU preemptively imposed sanctions on the digital ruble in April 2025 in response to Russia's war in Ukraine. Vladimir Chistyukhin, First Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Russia, stated that the relevant laws for the digital ruble will take effect on September 1st, with a transition period until July 2027. In contrast, a US housing bill containing a CBDC ban has been submitted to Trump; if the president does not sign it within 10 days, it will automatically take effect, and the ban will last until 2030.
