🪙 Crypto referral programs
Free crypto for signing up and verifying.
Crypto exchange referrals are the quickest to finish — verify your identity and many pay out within days — and the headline numbers run from a few dollars of free crypto to four-figure blind-box prizes and commission shares. Treat the big figures as ceilings: most require a deposit, a minimum trade volume, or both before anything is credited, and the reward arrives as crypto rather than cash, so its dollar value moves the moment it lands. Availability varies sharply by country and, in the US, by state, so an offer a friend claimed may not be open where you live.

Questions about crypto referral bonuses
Where can I find verified exchange referral codes?
RefsLinks lists crypto exchange referral programs — one entry per exchange, each linking to that exchange's own referral page and stamped with the month it was last checked. We don't republish other people's invite codes: the code itself is issued by the exchange when you sign up or invite a friend.
Do I need to verify my identity to claim a crypto referral bonus?
Yes. Every regulated exchange requires KYC — a government ID and usually a selfie — before it will pay out a referral reward.
Is the reward paid in cash or crypto?
Almost always in crypto, and the exchange usually picks which coin. If you'd rather hold dollars, you'll sell the payout and eat the spread.
Why is my referral bonus still pending?
Most programs hold the reward until you complete a qualifying action — a first deposit, trade or purchase over a minimum amount. Signup alone usually isn't enough.
Are crypto referral rewards taxable?
In the US they generally count as ordinary income at market value when you receive them. Exchanges may issue tax forms above their reporting thresholds, so keep records either way.
