“# Search giant Google lifts 2018 ban on crypto exchange, wallet advertisements <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

In a surprise move today, online advertising behemoth Google has lifted a nearly three year old policy banning cryptocurrency exchanges from using its ad services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBeginning August 3, advertisers offering Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Wallets targeting the United States may advertise those products and services when they meet the following requirements and are certified by Google,\u201d reads a policy update<\/a> on the company\u2019s support page. <\/p>\n

Requirements exchanges have to pass include needing to be either registered with \u201cFinCEN as a Money Services Business and with at least one state as a money transmitter\u201d or \u201ca federal or state chartered bank entity,\u201d potentially opening the door to ads from services like Anchorage and Paxos.<\/p>\n

The new policy won\u2019t open the door to the vast majority of crypto institutions, however, as \u201cads for initial coin offerings, DeFi trading protocols, or otherwise promoting the purchase, sale, or trade of cryptocurrencies or related products\u201d all continue to be prohibited. News<\/a> and chart aggregators as well as \u201csignals\u201d and analysis services also remain on the ad blacklist. <\/p>\n

Google\u2019s policies around crypto ads have often been conflicting, and at points experts have decried them as \u201cunfair.\u201d Throughout 2018 the search giant flip-flopped on an exchange ad ban, at one point had \u201cEthereum\u201d as a blacklisted word in ads, and despite the strict policies still occasionally allowed scam projects to slip through.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new advertisement policy means that U.S.-based crypto aficionados may soon be bombarded with ads. Binance US and FTX are currently battling to carve out Stateside market share, with FTX in particular willing to spend on unconventional advertising venues. Earlier this year it was announced that FTX bought the naming rights to the home of the National Basketball Association\u2019s Miami Heat until 2040, the soon-to-be FTX arena. <\/p>\n
