Google bans crypto-currency adverts
14 March 2018
Google has moved to ban crypto-currency advertising from its platforms.
The move will affect promotional campaigns for initial coin offerings, Bitcoin exchanges, digital wallets to store the assets and trading advice.
A notice said the policy would be introduced in June but did not give an explanation why.
The BBC understands that Google decided to act because it felt there was a lack of appropriate consumer protections for highly speculative and complex trades.
