UK ministers just floated a proposal that's raising eyebrows across the crypto space—they want to outright ban political donations made in digital assets. Their justification? Apparently it's all about protecting "trust" and "democracy."

Here's the kicker: government reps are pushing this under the premise that crypto transactions are somehow impossible to track. Yet anyone who's spent five minutes looking at blockchain explorers knows that's questionable at best. Every transaction leaves a permanent, public record.

So what's really driving this push to shut down crypto political contributions?
