A barrage of ads aimed at promoting Floki Inu, one of the top Elon Musk-inspired dog coins, has sparked a clampdown following the coin's aggressive campaign in London, according to a report by Business Insider.

Chris Reader, TfL's head of commercial media, says that all advertisers have to comply with its policy:

When reviewing copy now from cryptocurrency brands who wish to advertise on our estate, we ensure that campaigns contain sufficient information to comply with both our policy and the ASA [Advertising Standards Authority] ruling.

Floki Inu's massive ad campaign that portrays the obscure canine coin as the next big thing took over the London Underground for nearly a month.

Its organizers wanted to appeal to those who missed Dogecoin and Shiba Inu but wanted to become part of the canine mania:

Missed DOGE? Get FLOKI.

They also appeared on double-deckers throughout the city. It is not clear who is responsible for the marketing assault on London's transportation system.

The launch of the campaign preceded a massive price spike. Floki Inu, which was named after Elon Musk's Shiba Inu dog, is up 251% over the past 30 days.
