Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: March 2026

Hey, Marcus Reid here. I believe in being upfront with you about how EasyCryptoGuide operates, so let me break down exactly how affiliate relationships work on this site. Transparency matters to me, and you deserve to know how I keep the lights on while providing free educational content.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Throughout EasyCryptoGuide, you’ll find links to cryptocurrency exchanges and other services. Some of these are affiliate links, which means if you click through and sign up or make a purchase, I may receive a commission from that company. Think of it as a referral fee—the exchange pays me a small percentage for sending you their way.

Here’s the important part: using my affiliate links costs you absolutely nothing extra. You pay the same fees, get the same features, and often receive the same sign-up bonuses as anyone else. The commission comes from the company’s marketing budget, not your pocket.

My Affiliate Partners

In the interest of full disclosure, here are the exchanges I currently have affiliate partnerships with:

  • Binance – Commission: approximately 20-40% of trading fees
  • Bybit – Commission: approximately 20-30% of trading fees
  • OKX – Commission: approximately 20-40% of trading fees

These percentages can vary based on promotional periods and user activity, but this gives you a realistic picture of what I earn when you sign up through my links.

Editorial Independence

Let me be crystal clear: affiliate commissions do not influence my opinions or recommendations. Every exchange I recommend is one I’ve personally used, tested, and continue to trade on myself. I’ve been in the crypto space since 2017, and my reputation matters more to me than any commission check.

If an exchange has issues—high fees, poor customer service, security concerns—I’ll tell you straight, regardless of any affiliate relationship. You’ll also notice I don’t recommend every exchange that offers affiliate programs. If I haven’t used it or don’t trust it, it doesn’t make it onto this site.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

I make affiliate links easy to spot on EasyCryptoGuide:

  • Affiliate links often include tracking parameters in the URL
  • I include disclosure statements near affiliate links within articles
  • Buttons or banners promoting exchanges typically contain affiliate links
  • When in doubt, assume promotional links to exchanges are affiliate links

Why I Use Affiliate Programs

Creating quality crypto education takes significant time and effort. Affiliate income allows me to keep EasyCryptoGuide free and ad-light while dedicating myself to producing thorough guides, honest reviews, and up-to-date information. Your support through these links directly helps this site continue to exist.

If you’ve found my content helpful and decide to sign up for an exchange anyway, using my affiliate link is a simple way to support my work at no cost to you. But there’s never any pressure—use whatever link you prefer.
