Crypto certification is now available directly in Google Ads accounts

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Google is streamlining access to crypto and complex speculative financial product advertising by allowing some advertisers to apply for certification directly within their Google Ads accounts. Previously, certification required a separate application process outside the platform - an administrative hurdle that added friction for legitimate advertisers in the space.
