Ireland to restrict parties from accepting crypto donations

As per the local reports, the political parties would be banned from accepting crypto donations under the newly drafted political integrity regulations over the fears of Russian cyber-involvement in Irish elections.

Darragh O’Brien, a local minister who has been given responsibility for electoral reform, wrote a note to party leaders that outlines his goal to set out a range of measures to counteract malicious foreign meddling in elections.

As part of a major reform of electoral legislation, the authorities are planning to implement stricter limitations on all foreign donations, along with obligations for parties to disclose full information of their property portfolios. The country would overhaul political funding laws to direct how political parties and individuals can take financial help from outside sources.

Moreover, the soon-to-be-established task force composed of legal professionals and political scientists to “build a legal and digital bulwark,” would also have the power to take-down social media companies and clarify online misinformation that could negatively influence the voting process. Notably, Ireland is known for its tough stance toward “misleading” crypto promotions, about which the country’s central bank warned its customers.

“The appalling invasion of Ukraine and insidious disinformation war highlight the ongoing fundamental threats faced by all democracies,” O’Brien said.

Russia’s interference 

Russian influence in Ireland lately has been quiet but considerable. The Conti cyberattack, which penetrated the Health Service Executive (HSE) and knocked its computer systems offline in May 2021, demonstrates how a deterioration in broader security can impact the country. According to reports, the attack was carried out by the Russian criminal group Wizard Spider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the success guarantee work?

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
