Ben Delo, the billionaire co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, has committed a $27 million donation to the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research in London. The significant philanthropic gesture follows a high-profile legal chapter for Delo, who was recently granted a pardon by former U.S. President Donald Trump regarding charges related to the exchange’s operations. The funds are intended to bolster fundamental mathematical research and support academic fellowships within the United Kingdom. Delo, recognized as one of Britain’s youngest self-made billionaires, expressed that the contribution is aimed at fostering scientific excellence and securing the future of advanced mathematics. This donation represents one of the largest private gifts to a UK mathematics institution in recent years.
