Comparisons⏱️ 8 min readFor crypto advertisers and affiliates
Crypto ad networks fall into two groups. Crypto-native networks sell banners, native ads, pop-unders and press releases on crypto news and tools sites. Performance networks sell push, pop, in-page, native and Telegram traffic across many kinds of sites, and accept crypto offers alongside other verticals. Most crypto advertisers end up using one of each.
This guide compares well-known crypto ad networks on formats, pricing models and minimum budgets, using details from their own pages checked on 21 October 2026. It’s written for advertisers and affiliates promoting crypto products. It isn’t investment advice and doesn’t recommend any coin or token.
🔑 Key takeaways
- Crypto-native networks give you context: your ad sits on sites people read for crypto news, data and tools. They mainly sell banners, native, pop-unders and press releases, mostly on CPM.
- Performance networks give you volume and direct-response formats like push, pop, in-page and Telegram, usually on CPC or CPM with target CPA tools.
- Published minimums vary a lot: from a €100 starting deposit to €3,000 for some premium pop-under inventory. Rawbitads lists no minimum spend.
- Match the network to the funnel: awareness and launches suit crypto-native sites, sign-ups and deposits at scale suit performance formats.
Two Kinds of Crypto Ad Networks
Crypto-native networks work with publishers in the crypto space: market data sites, news sites, block explorers and tools. The audience is already interested in crypto, so even a simple banner reaches the right people. The trade-off is that inventory is smaller and formats are mostly display.
Performance networks buy across many site types and sell formats built for clicks and conversions. Targeting by GEO, device and OS, plus zone-level optimization, makes them a good fit for sign-up and deposit offers. Our crypto traffic guide explains how each format fits different crypto offers.
What to Compare in a Crypto Ad Network
- Formats: banners and native for awareness, or push, pop, in-page and Telegram for direct response.
- Pricing model: CPM is the norm on crypto-native sites. CPC and target CPA are more common on performance networks.
- Minimum deposit and daily budgets: these vary more in crypto than in most verticals.
- Payment options: several crypto networks accept cryptocurrency for deposits.
- Tracking: postback support, so you can judge networks on cost per registration or deposit.

A Closer Look at the Crypto-Native Networks
Coinzilla has a low entry point: a €100 deposit and a €50 daily budget per campaign. Every format is CPM, and its blog suggests a higher CPM can win better positions earlier in a user’s session. It’s a good fit for awareness and launches across crypto and finance sites.
Bitmedia is the most performance-minded of the crypto-native group, with CPC as well as CPM, a smart bid feature, conversion tracking with postbacks and Telegram ads. The $300 minimum is higher than Coinzilla’s, and its FAQ says payments below that are not credited, so check before you send funds.
Cointraffic focuses on premium, manually vetted crypto publishers and offers both self-serve and managed campaigns with a dedicated account manager. It suits bigger budgets, especially for pop-unders, where the published minimum is €3,000.
A-ADS sells banner campaigns, ready-made niche bundles and CPA campaigns, plus a marketplace for articles, press releases and social posts. It doesn’t publish a minimum deposit on its homepage.
Where Performance Networks Fit Crypto Offers
Crypto-native sites are great for reach among crypto readers, but most of the volume for sign-up and deposit offers comes from performance formats:
- Push and in-page push for short, product-led hooks. See how to promote crypto offers with push and pop.
- Pop for pre-lander tests at volume.
- Telegram for crypto communities. Our Telegram ads for crypto guide covers channel posts and Mini App ads.
- Native for education-led funnels and reviews.
Where Rawbitads Stands Out for Crypto
Rawbitads is a performance network, not a crypto-native one, so we don’t sell banners on crypto news sites or press releases. What we do offer for crypto advertisers:
- Telegram channel ads and Telegram Mini App ads, where many crypto audiences already spend time. Telegram is listed on our formats page as a best fit for crypto.
- In-page push, which our formats page also lists for crypto and which reaches iOS users.
- Push, pop, native and direct click in the same account, so you can test the same angle across formats.
- SmartBid on a target CPA, with real-time zone blacklisting.
- No minimum spend, which keeps the first test small.
A common setup is to run a crypto-native network for reach on crypto sites and Rawbitads for push, pop and Telegram volume, then compare cost per depositor across both. For help with angles, see crypto ad creatives and pre-landers.
How to Test Crypto Networks Fairly
Pick one network from each group.
For example, one crypto-native network and one performance network.
Use the same pre-lander and offer.
Only the network and format should change.
Track registration and first deposit.
Set up postbacks as described in our crypto CPA offers guide.
Give each test the same budget.
Enough to reach several depositors, not just clicks.
Compare cost per depositor.
Then scale the winner and keep the other for reach.
💡 Pro tip
On CPM-only networks, your effective cost per click depends on your creative. Test two or three banner designs before you judge the network itself.
Common Mistakes With Crypto Ad Networks
- Sending funds below the minimum. Some networks don’t credit deposits under their published minimum.
- Comparing CTR across formats. A banner and a push ad aren’t comparable on CTR. Use cost per conversion.
- Using hype in creatives. Guaranteed returns and “get rich” angles hurt trust and attract users who rarely deposit.
- Skipping the pre-lander. Crypto funnels convert better when a short page explains the product first.
- Relying on one network. Crypto-native inventory is smaller. Add a performance network for scale.
