How does CryptoSlate make money?

CryptoSlate is a for-profit business that aims to provide cryptocurrency enthusiasts a snapshot of the entire market space. This includes news, real-time market data, a directory of people, companies, products, and event listings.

CryptoSlate offers several advertising packages in order to cover the costs of technology (servers, platforms, software, etc.), original and investigative journalism, data research and media research, office rent and utilities, legal and accounting costs, business insurance, employee salaries and contractor wages, and the cost of listing events. CryptoSlate does not use any revenue/proceeds to engage in any cryptocurrency investing.

These advertisements are disclosed directly to the reader through a disclaimer, announcement, or eye-catching design. CryptoSlate aims to ensure that our readers understand the nature of the business being done on the website.

CryptoSlate attempts to screen all advertisers, but it is, of course, impossible to catch all bad actors. CryptoSlate refuses to engage with advertisers that guarantee returns on investment, advertisers for pump-and-dump schemes, or advertisers that otherwise seem harmful or dangerous to the blockchain community.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please contact us and we will do our best to respond to you as quickly as possible.

Brand Advertising

You can explore all current packages, ad placements, and pricing on our Advertising page.

What’s the difference between a Sponsored Article and a Press Release?

A Sponsored Article is a custom article written by the advertiser and published in the main news feed — it’s shared across social media, featured in the newsletter, and indexed on Google for ongoing visibility.

A Press Release, managed via our partner Chainwire, is a standard announcement published on the site but not shared across CryptoSlate’s channels.

How long do Sponsored Articles stay live on CryptoSlate?

All Sponsored Articles are permanently hosted and indexed for SEO visibility. They remain accessible through CryptoSlate’s archives indefinitely.

Can I target specific regions or demographics?

Yes. CryptoSlate offers geo-targeted campaigns with audience concentration in the US (45%), and strong reach across Canada, UK, Vietnam, India, and Germany.

What’s included in the Sponsored Article package?

Each article includes:

  • Homepage visibility for at least 24 hours
  • Placement in the daily newsletter (110k+ subscribers)
  • Promotion on X, LinkedIn, and Telegram
  • A free Directory Listing ($499 value)
Can I bundle ads for better pricing?

Yes. Campaign packages (Foundation, Growth, and Ultimate) offer 20–30% savings with multi-channel exposure across articles, newsletter, and site-wide ads.

What payment methods do you accept?

CryptoSlate accepts USDC or USDT on Ethereum, TRON, or Solana networks. Invoicing requires a company name, address, and billing email.

Can I extend my campaign after launch?

Absolutely. You can add ad units (like extra Sponsored Articles or banners) or extend the duration at a pro-rata rate.

Will I get performance reports?

Yes, advertisers receive post-campaign reports with impression, click, and engagement metrics across placements.

Does CryptoSlate have any advertising restrictions?

Yes, CryptoSlate does not advertising for cloud mining companies. We also reserve the right to turn down projects if we believe that its token name may be misleading for the general public.

Can I geo-target my ads on CryptoSlate?

Yes, we offer country-specific geo-targeting options for your advertising campaigns.

Can I remove the sponsored tag off my advertisement?

No, in compliance with FTC regulations and in the interest of full disclosure to our readers, all advertisements must clearly be labeled as “sponsored,” “ad” or “promoted” tag.
