- On July 19, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase will indefinitely discontinue its US affiliate-marketing program.
Coinbase at a downward trend
The article said that they hate to tell everyone that Coinbase will momentarily be going to close down its Affiliate Program in the United States with an effective date of Tuesday, July 19th, citing emails that were addressed to three authors and provided to the media outlet. This has not been a simple decision, nor was it done lightly, the emails said. However, given the current state of the cryptocurrency market and the expectation for the rest of 2022, Coinbase has been unable to continue sponsoring rewarded traffic to its site. According to the report, the corporation stated that it will revive the program in 2023 but did not provide a specific date in the email.

Coinbase now faces more competition on its own turf thanks to Binance.
