FCA and crypto — UK context for DOGE readers

A shiny advert is not the same as a protected investment product.

How UK financial promotion and firm-authorisation context affects what you see online.

In the UK, firms promoting certain crypto activities may need to meet financial promotion rules. That does not make DOGE ‘safe’ or guaranteed.

Check whether a firm is who it claims to be. Scammers copy logos. Prefer official registers and typed URLs over ad clicks.

Self-custody wallets and open networks sit outside ‘bank-style’ protections — loss from phishing is usually yours.

Use this as context, then return to safety checklists before you act.
