      "background_zh": "BitMEX 是一家注册在塞舌尔的加密货币衍生品交易所，以首创永续合约闻名，Delo 是其联合创始人之一。Tether 是市值最大的稳定币 USDT 的发行方，该稳定币由储备资产支持并与美元挂钩。英国现行政治献金规则对本国境内捐赠者的捐款没有上限，但工党已将旅居海外的英国人捐款上限定为10万英镑，并计划对近期回国的英国人也适用同样限制。",
      "background_en": "BitMEX is a Seychelles-registered cryptocurrency derivatives exchange best known for pioneering the perpetual swap contract, and Delo is one of its co-founders. Tether is the issuer of USDT, the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, backed by reserves and pegged to the dollar. UK political finance rules currently place no cap on donations from donors based in Britain, though Labour has capped gifts from Britons living overseas at £100,000 and plans the same for recent returnees.",

      "market_impact_zh": "传导路径主要来自监管而非流动性：两位知名加密人物成为英国政党顶级金主，恰逢捐款上限立法和针对加密捐款的上议院法案推进之际，这可能影响英国加密政策的严格程度，从而扩大该行业的政治影响力。Delo 与 BitMEX 反洗钱案件的关联，以及 Harborne 作为 Tether 投资人的身份，也把执法监管和稳定币发行方审查拉入同一政治议题，影响市场对英国相关加密监管风险的预期。",
      "market_impact_en": "The transmission path runs through regulation rather than liquidity: two prominent crypto figures becoming top-tier funders of a UK party increases the industry's political footprint just as donation-cap legislation and a Lords bill targeting crypto donations are in play, which could influence how strictly UK crypto policy is written. Delo's ties to the BitMEX AML case and Harborne's status as a Tether investor also keep enforcement and stablecoin-issuer scrutiny in the same political frame, affecting sentiment around UK-related crypto regulatory risk.",
