UK regulator not happy with Kim Kardashian's Ethereum Max promotion
The UK's financial regulator was not happy about Kim Kardashian's promotion of the cryptocurrency Ethereum Max. Charles Randell is the chairman of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Payment Systems Regulator (PSR). He mentioned her name during a conversation about scams in the crypto market.
Charles Randell wants to crack down on the promotion of scams
Randell gave a speech at the Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime last week. He talked about the risks of symbolic regulations and regulations that protect people from investment fraud and scams. During the talk, he refers to the ads Kim Kardashian has run for Ethereum max and says the influencer's cryptocurrency promotion on Instagram has reached the largest audience ever with 250 million followers.To combat this behavior, the head of the FCA explained how websites can provide advice on fraud and scams that can help investors avoid making unwise decisions. SA wants to work with online platforms that want to protect both consumers and their businesses. He hopes to reprimand platforms that do not actively contribute and undermine the trust of their customers.
Influencers get paid regularly to promote pump and dumps
Randell blames Kardashian for potential losses investors could have made if they had listened to her ads, "That brings me to Kim Kardashian. When she was recently paid to ask her 250 million Instagram followers to speculate on crypto tokens by joining the Ethereum Max Community, it was perhaps the financial promotion with the largest audience reach in history."Randell could not say whether the token Kardashian was promoting was a scam.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
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.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
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.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
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.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
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.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. 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.
How often is content updated?
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.
