The Financial Services Commission of Mauritius issued these rules to regulate how virtual asset service providers and initial token offering issuers advertise their products domestically and internationally. The regulations mandate that all advertisements remain fair, clear, accurate, and properly balanced regarding risks, costs, and performance data. They impose strict disclosure obligations, assign direct liability to service providers for third-party promotions, and establish specific conduct standards for digital platforms, cold calls, and inducements to protect consumers.
