How CryptPerks Makes Money

We believe you deserve to know exactly how a website that recommends crypto exchanges pays its bills. Here's the honest, complete answer — no fine print.

Who is actually using these links

More than 5,000 traders have opened exchange accounts through CryptPerks referral links, counted from the affiliate dashboards the exchanges themselves provide. We publish it because a site that recommends exchanges should be willing to say how much it is actually used — and because this is a figure the exchanges verify, not one we assert. Accurate as of August 2026.

We earn a commission from affiliate links

When you click a link on CryptPerks and open an account or trade on an exchange, that exchange may pay us a commission or a share of the trading fees you generate. This costs you nothing extra — the bonuses and fee discounts you get through our links are the same as, or better than, going directly to the exchange.

Why we give 20% back

Most affiliate sites stop at "we may earn a commission". Here is what we do with ours. Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Gate.io and MEXC pay us a commission on the trading fees you generate, and we pass 20% of it back to you as 20% lower trading fees. That was our choice: we could set it to 0% and keep all of it. 20% is the maximum our affiliate accounts let us give back, and we give all of it. We set it in each exchange's affiliate panel as a commission share for the people we refer, so the exchange pays it out of the commission it owes us. Because it is set through our account, it may not appear in the exchange's general referral terms or help pages. On some exchanges you can see it yourself: MEXC's sign-up page for our code shows "Commission sharing: Spot 20.00% / Futures 20.00%" (checked 30 September 2026). Binance is structured differently and runs a trading-fee rebate voucher programme instead of a 20% share. In every case the exchange applies the benefit itself at sign-up, so there is nothing for you to claim and nothing we can withhold. Each referral-code guide sets out what its exchange publishes.

Our rankings are not for sale

An exchange cannot pay us to rank higher, get a better review, or hide its weaknesses. Where we compare exchanges we use figures we can source and date: standard trading fees, the sign-up offers each exchange publishes, and how many coins it lists (counted from its own public data, tokenized stocks excluded). We do not score security, and our 0-100 ratings are editorial opinions. When a popular exchange has a real drawback, we say so, even if it pays us.

How we research exchanges

We read each exchange's own published fee schedules, sign-up pages and help-center terms, count listed coins from its public data, and put a date on what we publish. Bonus figures are the headline offers exchanges publish; we do not audit them. When we re-check and terms have changed, we update the page.

What this means for you

Using our links is a way to support the site at no cost to yourself while getting the sign-up offer the exchange publishes. But your money and your risk are yours alone — always do your own research, only trade what you can afford to lose, and check that an exchange is available and compliant in your country before signing up.

Not financial advice

Everything on CryptPerks is general information, not financial, investment, legal or tax advice. Cryptocurrency trading carries significant risk. We are not a broker, exchange or financial adviser, and we are not responsible for decisions you make on third-party platforms.
