Google\u2019s move reflects increasing scrutiny of crypto promotions worldwide as regulators aim to protect consumers in the volatile digital asset market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s updated policy<\/a> now mandates Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration for advertisers promoting crypto exchanges or software wallets in the UK. These ads will only be allowed if advertisers meet all local regulatory requirements and secure Google certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Google will allow ads for hardware wallets designed to store private crypto keys, provided they do not offer services such as buying, selling, or trading digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advertisers must ensure compliance with UK regulations and obtain Google\u2019s approval before launching campaigns. This policy overhaul comes amid growing efforts by global regulators to combat misleading or unauthorized crypto promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
