Top Crypto Advertising Networks You Should Know

 

Without effective promotion, it is impossible to develop any business, let alone an online-based one. However, cryptocurrency businesses face extra challenges nowadays.

 First, there are restrictions on crypto-themed content in various media.

 Second, the audience is fed up with online ads. The audience must be selected very, very carefully.

 Finally, cryptocurrencies have a very controversial reputation.  

 Thus, you can’t really ensure the effective promotion of any blockchain, Web 3.0, or crypto project without relying on specialized crypto ad networks.

Crypto ad networks enable the promotion of various crypto and Web 3.0 projects without risking a ban or having to deal with restrictions imposed on crypto-themed content by mainstream media.

Advantages of Using a Crypto Ad Network:

  • Crypto ad networks only engage advertisers and publishers familiar with blockchain
  • Crypto ad networks’ audience is already interested in the topic of blockchain
  • Relaxed requirements for creatives
  • Streamlined ads approval process
  • Support for cryptocurrency payments

Crypto Advertising Networks

We have compiled a list of crypto-advertising networks with a description of their trading platforms for cryptocurrency advertisers and publishers.

Coinzilla

CoinZilla is considered among the best crypto ad networks on the market. It has earned its reputation over the past six years. Thus, it relies on established relations with both publishers and advertisers. 

The crypto ad network uses all popular payment models in the industry.

CoinZilla supports multiple ad formats, including banner ads.

A-Ads

A-Ads is a true veteran among crypto ad networks – the launch date is 2011.

The crypto ad network is tailored towards well-established projects and offers higher performance than other crypto ad networks.

CoinMedia

CoinMedia is built around ease of use. In fact, it is positioned as the simplest among all crypto ad networks. An intuitive interface for publishers and advertisers certainly is a factor in it. 

However, the procedure for acceptance of advertisers and publishers is worryingly relaxed. The issue is somewhat alleviated by the option to hand-pick sites.

The ad network enables only GEO targeting.

Pop-unders are present to supplement banner ads.
