Central Bank of Ireland issues a warning

On Tuesday, the Central Bank of Ireland issued a notice saying that cryptocurrencies are “highly risky and speculative” for retail investors and warning investors to be informed of “the risks of misleading advertisements, particularly on social media, where influencers are being paid to advertise crypto assets.”

The notice also notes that the warning was a part of the European Supervisory Authorities’ campaign which consists of the European Banking Authority, the European Securities and Markets Authority, and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority.

The Director General Financial Conduct of the country, Derville Rowland commented on the subject by saying:

“In Ireland and across the EU we are seeing increasing levels of advertising and aggressive promotion of crypto asset investments [and] while people may be attracted to these investments by the high returns advertised, the reality is that they carry significant risk.”
He went on to warn that the crypto investments are irreversible and unregulated which means if something goes wrong, the investors would not have any protection that they would have if they invested in a regulated product.

Notably, in January, the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) of Spain was authorized to regulate crypto advertising in the European Union.

Crypto marketing scrutiny

Ireland has joined the list of countries that actively warns and informs its citizens about the risks of investing in crypto. With celebrities and influencers running to grab money in return for promoting several projects, many countries have published new sets of guidelines when it comes to crypto marketing, with some going too far to even ban advertising. A major incident is Kim Kardashian’s Instagram story about the ERC-20 token EthereumMax (EMAX) in June last year, which resulted in a price spike followed by a fall of more than 99%.

The United Kingdom is also known for its tough stance towards crypto and its promotion, as we saw its attitude with Floki Inu after its promotion show on the roads and buses.

Following a crypto marketing ban by Singapore in January, India published an updated set of crypto advertising guidelines. Interestingly, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao believes that these kinds of promotion bans would not affect the massive demand market is witnessing.

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.

Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
