Google Ads Cryptocurrency

Google is rolling out an update for Google Ads advertisers to certify for some cryptocurrency and complex speculative financial products. This is "incrementally to all advertisers over a period of time and not all advertisers and certification applications will be affected immediately," Google wrote.

This applies to these certifications:

  • Cryptocurrency exchanges and software wallets
  • Cryptocurrency hardware wallets
  • Cryptocurrency coin trust
  • Complex speculative financial products

Affected advertisers will have the option to either continue to apply for certifications through the Google Ads Help Center or their Google Ads account in "Admin " under a new "Policy > Account " section.

Google also noted that "existing certifications an advertiser holds and pending applications will not be affected by this incremental launch."
