- New FCA Rules on Crypto Advertising in the UKFeb 12, 2026
Wait, does "refer a friend" mean referral links? That sounds like it covers personal ads too. Are they saying no airdrops either? This could get messy.

I think those numbers need a refresh. It’s all about less economic friction. Wherever there’s cheap power and decent laws, that’s where mining flourishes. I’m seeing claims that the US has around 37% now, which doesn't…
- SEC's Struggles to Attract Crypto SpecialistsJul 11, 2025
