The U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has prohibited an ad promoting canine cryptocurrency Floki Inu.
The advertising watchdog has concluded that the meme coin's promotional blitz was "irresponsible."
As reported by U.Today, the London Underground became inundated with Floki Inu ads that were supposed to make the cryptocurrency yet another big thing with the "Missed DOGE? Get Floki" tagline.
Some critics called for banning crypto ads on London's public transport as the result of the campaign, and an ASA investigation into Floki Inu's intense marketing efforts ensued.
