Crypto— what it means in affiliate marketing
Cryptocurrency used as a payment rail in affiliate work — most of it USDT rather than Bitcoin.
Networks pay in it because it crosses borders without a banking relationship; affiliates accept it for the same reason. It also removes the chargeback, which is why advertisers in high-risk verticals prefer it and why disputes with a network end differently than they would in fiat.
