Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: February 2026
Summary: CryptoEdge earns commissions from exchange affiliate programmes. This is how we fund the site. Our commissions do not affect the fees or bonuses you receive, and we strive to maintain editorial independence.
What Is an Affiliate Relationship?
An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement in which we receive a commission when a user clicks a link on our Site and subsequently creates an account or completes a qualifying action on a third-party platform (in our case, cryptocurrency exchanges).
This is a standard and widely used business model for comparison and review websites. It allows us to provide free content to our readers while generating revenue to sustain the Site.
Which Exchanges Have Affiliate Relationships with CryptoEdge?
We currently have affiliate relationships with the following exchanges featured on our Site:
- Binance
- Bybit
- OKX
- Pionex
- Bitget
Links to these exchanges on our Site are affiliate links. When you click these links, a tracking cookie may be set that allows the exchange to attribute your registration to our referral.
How Commissions Work
When you sign up via one of our referral links:
- The exchange pays us a commission, typically a percentage of the trading fees you generate over a defined period.
- This commission is paid by the exchange from their own revenue — it does not come from your fees or reduce any bonus you receive.
- In many cases, using our referral link entitles you to a welcome bonus or fee discount that you would not receive by signing up directly.
Does This Affect Our Reviews?
We are committed to providing honest, independent reviews. Our affiliate relationships do not guarantee positive coverage. We include accurate negative information about exchanges we have affiliate relationships with, and we review exchanges we do not have affiliate relationships with.
Our ratings are based on objective criteria including regulatory status, security practices, fee structures, and user experience. We update reviews when exchanges make material changes to their services.
However, we acknowledge that the existence of affiliate relationships creates a potential conflict of interest. We encourage you to read multiple sources and conduct your own research before choosing an exchange.
Our Educational Content
The content in our Learn section does not contain affiliate links. These articles are written to provide neutral, factual educational information about cryptocurrency trading, security, and regulation. They are not designed to promote any specific exchange.
Regulatory Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with applicable advertising standards and regulations, including guidelines from the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and similar bodies in other jurisdictions. We are committed to transparent disclosure of all material commercial relationships.
