Coinbase Launches Regulated Futures Trading for Europe

The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority has banned Coinbase’s “Everything Is Fine” ad campaign for suggesting that cryptocurrency could help ease the cost-of-living crisis without clearly explaining the risks. The ads used satirical videos and posters to highlight economic stress, which regulators said could mislead people into seeing high-risk crypto as a simple solution. Coinbase said the campaign was meant to criticize the financial system, but agreed to comply with the ruling and follow UK advertising rules.
