Is there some reason their position as a digfinex shareholder is relevant to their donation?

Probably because those companies would profit from more deregulation and independence of EU scrutiny (not that the EU would do a very good job scrutinizing banks and brokers, mind you).

AFAIK bitfinex operates out of hong kong, so they're not really subject to much regulation to begin with (if any)

It’s complicated. Bitfinex is registered in Taipei, but iFinex is the parent company and is registered in the British Virgin Islands. Additionally, Tether Operations Limited is registered in London.

It isn't relevant.

Nigel Farage has always given passionate speeches that resonated with an internet crowd.

It resulted in donations to his party.

Not really news.
