Facebook | May 09, 2019

Facebook announced in a blog post today that it will once again allow advertising related to cryptocurrency and blockchain.

ICOs with cobbled together WordPress websites and unverifiable, and oftentimes faked, teams were able to raise hundreds of millions from unsuspecting investors. These scams were profitable. So much so that many of these companies were willing to pay a premium for advertising on platforms that could attract additional victims. Facebook was one of these hotbeds for crypto-related advertising.
