YouTube bars public crypto chart livestreams, pushing creators to paid memberships

YouTube has banned public livestreams focused on cryptocurrency charts, according to Techub News, which cited Crypto Briefing. Under the change, creators who produce this type of content are required to move it behind paid channel memberships rather than keep it openly accessible. The report says the move could alter how retail participants access real-time market data, especially for users who have relied on free livestreams to follow price action and chart commentary. It also says the platform’s decision is intended to limit the broad public distribution of market data. The change may have direct implications for retail traders who depend on open broadcasts for timely market information.
