Crypto Influencers Need Real Accountability—Not Just a Disclaimer

If you’ve lost money in crypto, you’re not alone. And if you trusted someone promoting a security product because they seemed credible, that matters.

Right now, influencers can get paid to promote crypto wallets, exchanges, and security tools—but hide behind “This is not financial advice” like it’s a magic shield. Paid endorsements should follow the same honest advertising rules everywhere else.

I started a petition demanding the FTC and Congress hold crypto influencers accountable for deceptive claims about security products, require clear disclosure of their financial ties, and actually enforce real consequences when people get hurt.

This started because D’CENT Wallet users reported losing crypto through suspicious transfers—but the real issue is bigger. When products are promoted as “completely secure” and people lose their savings, there should be a real path to answers and accountability.

Does this feel like a double standard to you? Would you want someone held responsible if a paid endorsement cost you your money? If this resonates, consider signing and sharing.
