Who is really advertising crypto & finance — and what their affiliate programs pay

AffSonar joins two datasets nobody else joins: the verified advertisers behind every Google ad (from Google's Ads Transparency Center) and the affiliate program terms of the projects they promote — commission, network, cookie, payout, approval requirements and prohibited practices, verified from official pages with a date on every claim.

Signals from this snapshot

Prop firms out-advertise every crypto exchange.FundedNext (~20,000 creatives) and FTMO (~9,000) dwarf Binance (~400) and Bybit (~200). The funded-trader vertical is where paid acquisition is most aggressive right now.

One agency, three exchanges: Click Tech Limited.The same verified advertiser runs Google ads pointing to MEXC, Bitget and KuCoin. Following one advertiser like this reveals which offers professionals consider worth media spend.

KuCoin and Gate barely advertise themselves.5 and 62 creatives respectively — every one run by third parties. These brands acquire almost entirely through affiliates, which means less brand-bid competition for you.

Read the rules before you spend.FTMO bans affiliates from Vietnam, Pakistan and Iran. Coinbase pays revshare for only the first 3 months. TradingView strictly prohibits brand-keyword bidding. Every profile lists the tripwires.
