Earlier this year, the FCA moved to ban<\/a> crypto ads, managing to cut the advertisements down by 50%.<\/p>\n The FCA says that it\u2019s now making \u201cgood progress\u201d with tech companies in regulating the banned advertisements, but is still\u00a0\u201cconcerned about the prevalence of frauds and scams online\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cMany social media sites have now banned paid-for adverts for UK financial services from non-FCA authorized firms, and we continue to [take] action against those we find breaching our rules.\u201d<\/p>\n While seeking<\/a> feedback on crypto regulation in February, David Geale, executive director of payments and digital finance at the FCA, said:<\/p>\n \u201cCrypto is a growing industry. Currently largely unregulated, we want to create a crypto regime that gives firms the clarity they need to safely innovate, while delivering appropriate levels of market integrity and consumer protection. <\/p>\n Our aim is to drive sustainable, long-term growth of crypto in the UK.
