Crypto ads are taking over the Super Bowl 2022

TL;DR Breakdown:

• Super Bowl 2022 will have a large number of crypto ads.

This year’s Super Bowl has turned into the ‘Crypto Bowl’ with crypto ads featuring heavily throughout the event. Super Bowl is the most-watched annual sporting event in the US. That’s why crypto exchanges and companies have spent millions to get advertisement deals this year and win over millions of views. 

Major crypto exchanges like Coinbase, FTX, and Crypto.com are leading the advertisement board in this year’s Super Bowl. In fact, the two teams to make it to the Super Bowl, Cincinnati Bengals and The Los Angeles Rams will be playing at the SoFi stadium. SoFi is another major financial platform like Robinhood that also offers crypto buying and trading services. 

FTX Trading and Crypto.com exchange has spent close to $7 million for each 30-second ad slot. These ads will air during the commercial breaks of the game, as well as during the highlight shows. It’s expected that more than 100 million viewers will watch the Super Bowl today. If even a fraction of these viewers joins these crypto trading platforms, it will return massive profits for the companies.
