Compliant crypto + DeFi inventory

Crypto and finance ads β€” compliant and scalable.

Most networks reject crypto. We've built compliance-aware inventory and review processes for crypto, DeFi, trading platforms, signal services, and traditional financial products. Native and in-page push lead; banner adds reach. Tier 1 emphasis with selective Tier 2/3 expansion.

Compliance & rules

Every crypto and finance campaign goes through compliance review before launch. We check: licensing status in target GEOs (e.g., FCA registration for UK crypto, MiFID II compliance for EU trading), no guaranteed-return claims (universal across markets), risk-warning placement on landing pages, no false endorsements, no celebrity-mention without permission. Some offers we'll approve for some GEOs and not others. We never accept Ponzi-structured offers, "guaranteed daily returns" products, unregistered ICOs, or pump-and-dump tokens.

Sample creative angles
  • "How I made [%] in [N] months trading [crypto]" (testimonial-led native)
  • "Free crypto signals β€” proven 87% win rate" (signal service framing)
  • "Get a $50 sign-up bonus on [exchange]" (direct-incentive)
  • "Compare 12 forex brokers β€” find your match" (comparison-led)
  • "AI-powered trading bot, free trial" (technology-led)
  • "Earn passive income with DeFi staking" (DeFi-specific)

What it is

Crypto & finance advertising, explained.

Crypto and finance is the highest-payout vertical in performance marketing β€” typical CPAs of $8-45 per conversion, with premium trading-platform offers occasionally paying $200+ for a first-deposit conversion. It's also the most regulated, the most rejected by traditional ad networks, and the most complex from a compliance perspective. The vertical spans crypto trading platforms, DeFi protocols, signal services, copy-trading tools, traditional brokers (CFD, forex), loan brokers, credit card affiliates, insurance comparison, and other "yellow-margin" financial products.

Mondiad accepts crypto and finance advertising that traditional networks reject β€” but inside a compliance framework that routes each campaign to GEOs where the offer is actually legal to promote. Crypto in the US has different rules than crypto in Germany; CFD trading is unrestricted in some markets and severely restricted in others. Our compliance team maps your offer against current regulations in each GEO and either approves the campaign for that market or routes it elsewhere. Native is the dominant format because finance offers typically need 90+ characters of explanation; push is too short. In-page push adds iOS reach in the Tier 1 markets that matter most for finance.

Best ad formats

Which formats work best for crypto.

Click any format below for full specs, benchmarks, and the dedicated landing page.

Native β†’

Dominant format for crypto and finance. Story-led angles ("how I made 30% in 2 months") need the explanation room. Highest post-click conversion in our network.

In-page push β†’

Critical for finance in Tier 1 β€” iOS users skew high-value in finance verticals, and classic push misses them entirely.

Banner β†’

Brand-safe display for established brokers and trading platforms. IAB-standard sizes for traditional finance media buying.

Domain ads β†’

Zero-click intent for comparison sites β€” insurance, loans, credit cards. Pure intent traffic from typed URLs.

Targeting recipe

How successful affiliates launch crypto campaigns.

Six-step setup based on what's working today for top affiliates in this vertical. Adapt to your offer; the principles hold across products.

Launch a campaign β†’
01
GEO + licensing
Start with one GEO where your offer is explicitly licensed. Crypto isn't "global" β€” it's GEO-by-GEO regulated. Don't waste budget on unlicensed markets.
02
Device
Desktop is significant in finance (15-30% of traffic vs. 5-10% in sweeps). Run device-segmented campaigns; CPAs differ meaningfully.
03
Format
Native first (highest CR for finance). Add in-page push for iOS reach. Banner for established brands. Domain ads for comparison products.
04
Bidding
Manual CPC until 50 conversions (finance has higher CPAs so the data accumulates slower). Then TargetCPA.
05
Creative angle
Story-led for crypto retail. Trust-led for established brokers. Risk-disclosure visible β€” compliance teams check.
06
Landing page
KYC visible, risk disclaimers, licensing details displayed. Mondiad compliance reviews landing pages, not just creatives.
Case study

"Ran a crypto exchange CPA offer in Germany. $35 CPA, scaled from $100/day test budget to $3,800/day over two months. Native + in-page push. Mondiad's compliance team caught a creative issue early that would have killed us elsewhere."
