Disclaimer on Advertising and Paid Content

Transparency and Accountability of Advertising

The Cryptonomist online publication is committed to carefully selecting the advertising and paid content published on its pages. Its goal is to provide readers with the most accurate and transparent information possible, in compliance with applicable regulations in the European Union and the Republic of Cyprus, including EU Regulation 2023/1114 (MiCA), the Cypriot anti-money laundering legislation (Law 188(I)/2007 and subsequent amendments), the EU Payment Services Directive (PSD2), EU Regulation 2022/2065 (DSA), and CySEC guidelines.

However, despite all reasonable efforts to verify and monitor the content, the publication cannot guarantee the honesty, correctness, and legality of each advertiser or the advertising content offered. Responsibility for the truthfulness, legality, clarity, and compliance of advertising messages and paid content lies solely with the advertisers and/or intermediaries offering them.

Distinction Between Editorial and Advertising Content

All advertising and paid content is clearly identified as such (“Advertising,” “Sponsored Content,” etc.) and is separate from editorial content produced by the editorial staff. We encourage readers to pay particular attention to this distinction and not to consider advertising content as independent journalistic information.

Warning to Readers on Cryptoassets

The publication urges readers to exercise extreme caution when investing in cryptoassets or digital financial instruments. Cryptoassets are subject to high volatility and risk of total loss of invested capital. We recommend carefully evaluating each advertising proposal, consulting qualified sources, and always verifying the reliability and compliance of operators with applicable regulations.

Publisher’s Limitations of Liability

The Publisher declines all responsibility for any damages, losses, or consequences arising from reliance on advertisements or paid content published on the publication. The Publisher reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or remove at any time any advertisements or content deemed, even potentially, to be unlawful, misleading, fraudulent, or inconsistent with its policies, without refunding any fees paid.

Regulatory References

This policy is adopted in compliance with the main EU and Cypriot regulations regarding advertising, consumer protection, transparency, and the regulation of cryptocurrencies.
