Political funding is evolving with new methods and actors, raising concerns about transparency and influence. High-net-worth individuals are increasingly directing substantial financial support toward political parties, while far-right groups are turning to cryptocurrency like Bitcoin to bypass traditional fundraising restrictions. The shift highlights growing challenges in monitoring campaign finances and the potential for unchecked donations to shape electoral outcomes. Critics warn that these trends could further obscure the sources of political power and undermine democratic accountability.
