The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has hit reality TV personality Kim Kardashian with a $1.26 million fine for hawking crypto securities on Instagram without disclosing the partnership and payment she received for the promotion. 

The Monday morning press release from the SEC said Kardashian was paid $250,000 to promote the EMAX tokens, a crypto asset security sold by EthereumMax. According to the SEC, Kardashian was paid by EthereumMax through an undisclosed intermediary. The SEC charges stem from unlawfully touting the crypto without disclosing to her followers that she was being paid to do so.

"This case is a reminder that, when celebrities or influencers endorse investment opportunities, including crypto asset securities, it doesn’t mean that those investment products are right for all investors," SEC chair Gary Gensler said in a statement that was published alongside an SEC videoon celebrity investment endorsements. "We encourage investors to consider an investment’s potential risks and opportunities in light of their own financial goals."
