Projects that need reach beyond the UK work with the same team through our crypto marketing agency service.

UK crypto marketing is regulation-first by necessity. Since 8 October 2023, any promotion of qualifying cryptoassets that reaches UK consumers falls under the FCA financial promotions regime, wherever the project is based. Cryptoassets are classed as Restricted Mass Market Investments, which puts a fixed set of obligations into every UK funnel. Here is how each one changes the plan.

Who can communicate the promotion

A promotion has to be communicated or approved by an FCA-authorized firm, made by a cryptoasset business registered with the FCA under the Money Laundering Regulations, or fall within an exemption. Authorized firms that approve promotions for others now need specific FCA permission to do so. We confirm the route with your compliance team before any creative is written, because it decides who signs off each asset and how long approvals take.

What the customer journey must include

• Prescribed risk warnings on every promotion, including creator posts and short videos.
• A personalized risk warning and a 24-hour cooling-off period before a first-time investor can act on a direct offer.
• Client categorization and an appropriateness assessment before the investment goes ahead.
• No incentives to invest: refer-a-friend payments, sign-up bonuses and free-token offers are off the table for UK retail.

Influencers answer to two rulebooks

A paid creator post that promotes a cryptoasset to UK followers is a financial promotion, so it needs a lawful route and the risk warning. Separately, the CAP Code enforced by the ASA requires ads to be obviously identifiable, which for creators means a clear label such as "#ad" at the start of the post. The FCA has published guidance on financial promotions on social media and acts against unauthorized finfluencers, so this is a live risk, not a technicality.

How we build the nationwide plan

Because direct promotion is tightly controlled, UK growth leans on the channels the rules touch more lightly: PR and founder commentary, educational SEO content, community, and creator content that informs rather than sells. We geo-segment so UK users land on conforming journeys, and we plan for audiences across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland rather than London alone. The UK is also moving to a full authorization regime for cryptoasset firms; our FCA-compliant crypto marketing page covers that timeline. We are a marketing agency, not legal counsel, and your compliance team signs off.
