Marketing automation platform Mailchimp will reportedly shut down all accounts related to cryptocurrencies, including initial coin offerings (ICOs), exchanges, news, books, events, and announcements. Industry expert and Bitcoin advocate Andreas Antonopoulos tweeted on the subject:
Evan Van Ness of the Week In Ethereum tweeted that Mailchimp is shutting down their account in four weeks “because they hate Blockchains”.
Blockchain job board Cryptocurrency Jobs said their account with Mailchimp is being closed as well.
One Twitter user replied that is seemed as if Mailchimp quickly added a clause to their terms of use banning material related to crypto and virtual currencies.
As of press time, Mailchimp has not made a public statement on the matter.
