Roughly 70% of distributed materials between July and September 2022 reviewed by FINRA showed “potential substantive violations” of its Rule 2210.

In a report released on Tuesday, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) said that roughly 70% of crypto-related communications reviewed as part of its recent survey contained “false, exaggerated, promissory, unwarranted or misleading” claims or otherwise violated guidelines on public communications.
