The Advertising Stands Council of India (ASCI) has issued guidelines for commercials involving crypto or virtual digital assets, which will take effect on or after April 1. After April 15, 2022, all previous advertisements must comply with the new guidelines or be removed from the public domain.

India brings structured guidelines for crypto advertising

Amid several countries tightening their hands on crypto advertising, India's ASCI has developed new standards by undertaking extensive consultations with various stakeholders, including administration and the virtual digital asset (VDA) industry.

The primary law makes it mandatory for all ads for VDA products and VDA exchanges or exchanges featuring VDAs, to include the following disclaimer:

"Crypto products and NFTs are unregulated and can be highly risky. There may be no regulatory recourse for any loss from such transactions."
One guideline also instructs advertisers of VDA products or services in India not to use the words "currency," "securities," "custodian," and "depositories," as citizens generally connect these terms with regulated products. Moreover, any other asset class which is regulated may not be compared with the VDA products.

The new advertising guidelines also seek that the profitability or cost of VDA products should contain "clear, accurate, sufficient and updated information."

Increased Crypto marketing regulations

Regulators around the world find it necessary to regulate crypto marketing as Chairman of ASCI, Subhash Kamath, said, "Advertising of virtual digital assets and services needs specific guidance, considering that this is a new and as yet an emerging way of investing. Hence, there is a need to make consumers aware of the risks and ask them to proceed with caution". 

The news came shortly after Spain officially came into charge to control the crypto promotion in the European Union. The watchdogs in the United Kingdom have also been in the headlines for their strict decisions over crypto marketing.

However, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has commented in the past by saying that the crypto promotion ban would not affect the demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
