In a blog post on its advertising policies page, the $828 billion search engine behemoth stated that it would allow cryptocurrency advertisements from pre-approved and regulated companies as from October 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n The advertisements will, however, only be allowed in the United States and Japan<\/strong> with future plans to roll back the ban across the world. The ban comes after a similar ban reversal from its ad-competitor Facebook which, in June, announced that it would no longer ban all cryptocurrency ads, but would rather allow those from \u201cpre-approved advertisers\u201d<\/em><\/strong> instead. It excluded ads that promoted binary options and initial coin offerings (ICOs), however.<\/span><\/p>\n The ad ban that was instituted early this year was implemented by all the major ad platforms including Google\u2019s AdWords platform, Facebook\u2019s, Twitter and Snapchat\u2019s.<\/a><\/strong> However, by now Google and Facebook are the only ones who have the interest to reverse the ban. In March, when Google banned crypto ads, its ad executive Scott Spencer said that the cryptocurrency advertisements had the potential to \u201ccause harm in financial markets.\u201d<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t have a crystal ball to know where the future is going to go with cryptocurrencies, but we\u2019ve seen enough consumer harm or potential for consumer harm that it\u2019s an area that we want to approach with extreme caution,\u201d <\/em>he added. <\/span><\/p>\n
