Coinbase's 'Everything Is Fine' ad was reportedly not banned by British television networks, contrary to claims by CEO Brian Armstrong. Initially rejected by Clearcast, the UK's advertising clearance body, for lacking evidence that cryptocurrency solves economic issues, the ad has since appeared on Channel 4's YouTube channels, which are subject to looser online advertising regulations. This discrepancy has sparked calls from politicians to address the regulatory gap, as YouTube is increasingly popular, now ranking as the second most-watched service in the UK after the BBC. The ad depicts a bleak economic landscape in the UK, leading to significant views and discussions online. Despite the initial ban from traditional broadcasting, the ad's presence on digital platforms has allowed Coinbase to circumvent these restrictions, thereby amplifying its message.
