Facebook Rethinks Cryptocurrency Ad Ban

Facebook will be revamping their January crypto ad ban policy to allow certain related advertisements through an application process. 

The press release defines that the new policy will allow “cryptocurrency and related content from pre-approved advertisers,” but will continue blocking “binary options and initial coin offerings.”

Those looking to place ads will have to submit an application with information regarding any licenses they have obtained, whether they are traded on a public stock exchange, and other relevant public background on their business.
