A crypto signals affiliate program pays you for referring paying users to signal marketplaces, trading bots or charting tools, usually as a share of subscription revenue or a fixed fee per first purchase. Verified options as of October 2026 include Cryptohopper (which also pays on its signals marketplace), TradingView, TrendSpider, Bitsgap and WunderTrading. Never promise profits, and check financial-promotion rules where your audience lives.
This guide covers programs for affiliates. If you build a trading tool and want to run your own partner program, our page on crypto affiliate software covers that side. Nothing here is financial, investment or legal advice.
How trading-tool affiliate programs pay
Trading tools are subscription products, so most programs pay on subscription revenue. The structure decides how much a referral is worth over its lifetime.
Recurring revenue share
Cryptohopper, TrendSpider and WunderTrading pay a percentage of each subscription payment for as long as the terms allow: indefinitely at Cryptohopper and WunderTrading, for the first 12 months at TrendSpider. This is a RevShare model, and its value depends on churn.
Fixed one-time commission
TradingView switched new partners to a fixed commission per eligible first subscription, from $10 to $400 depending on the plan. You are paid once per new user, regardless of how long they stay.
Signal marketplace commissions
Signal marketplaces pay a cut of a cut. Cryptohopper keeps 15% of each paid signal subscription as cost coverage, and the affiliate receives 10% of that 15%, which is 1.5% of the signal price. On a $50 signal subscription that is $0.75. The money in this niche comes from platform subscriptions, not from the signals themselves.
Comparing the models
Example (invented round numbers): a user buys a $30 monthly plan. At 20% recurring for 12 months you would earn $72 if they stay a full year, but only $24 if they cancel after four months. A $25 one-time fee pays the same either way. Estimate customer lifetime value for your audience before you choose, and see our breakdown of CPA vs RevShare vs hybrid deals.
Refunds reduce what you earn. TradingView deducts refunds and chargebacks from commissions, and Cryptohopper withholds the commission on refunded subscriptions; both are forms of commission reversal.

TradingView
TradingView's partner program rules, last updated September 30, 2026 and effective October 30, 2026, pay a fixed one-time commission for each eligible first subscription. Rates run from $10 (Essential monthly) to $400 (Ultimate annual). Only purchases on the web version count; desktop and mobile app purchases, market data and add-ons do not.
A 90-day cookie assigns sign-ups to you, and users then have 90 days to buy, extended by 90 days after a trial. Payouts run once a month through PayPal only, and unclaimed commissions expire after 12 months. Partners who joined before May 10, 2023 on recurring terms keep a 30% legacy commission while they meet an activity requirement.
The rules are strict on promotion: brand-keyword bidding is banned, every paid campaign needs written approval, and you must not make exaggerated profit claims or present TradingView as financial advice.
Cryptohopper
Cryptohopper's affiliate terms, last updated in 2021, pay 10% of each fully paid subscription, rising to 12.5% once your monthly commissions pass $500 and 15% above $1,000. Commissions continue as long as referred subscribers keep paying.
Payments go to your Cryptohopper Balance every Monday, can be requested up to twice a month, and are not made under $75. Coupon sites, clone sites and Google Ads using the affiliate link are not accepted, and using discount codes voids the commission unless approved.
TrendSpider
TrendSpider's affiliate program pays recurring revenue share for a customer's first 12 months: 10% for new affiliates, 20% with at least 5 active customers and 30% with at least 50. It uses 365-day refreshable tracking.
Its rules prohibit income promises, performance guarantees, misleading trading-performance claims and mass direct messaging. US affiliates must provide a W-9 before payment.
Bitsgap
Bitsgap's affiliate program pays 30% on purchases by users who register through your link. The 30-day cookie renews on each visit, and once a user registers they stay assigned to you; if several affiliates refer the same visitor, the last click wins.
Commissions are calculated in EUR and paid in USDT on TRC-20, with a €25 minimum, within 21 days. Trademark bidding, self-referrals and spam are prohibited, and partners from Russia and Belarus are not accepted.
WunderTrading
WunderTrading's affiliate page advertises 30%–50% lifetime commissions on every subscription renewal, with the rate tiered by how many active subscribers you refer. A 30-day cookie refreshes on each visit and the latest referral gets credit. Payouts are monthly in USDC or USDT with a $30 minimum.

Traffic sources that work
Trading-tool buyers want proof the tool works for their workflow, not promises of returns.
- Tutorials and walkthroughs. Screen recordings that set up a bot, an alert or an indicator convert because they answer a concrete question. Show features, not P&L screenshots.
- SEO comparison and how-to content. Pages such as "how to connect TradingView alerts to a bot" or "grid bot vs DCA bot" match buyer intent.
- Communities. Telegram, Discord and forums work when you contribute; mass DMs and bot posting are banned by TradingView, TrendSpider and Bitsgap.
- Newsletters. Useful for product updates and education, with clear disclosure.
- Paid search. Heavily restricted. Google's cryptocurrencies and related products policy does not allow ad destinations that offer crypto trading signals, crypto investment advice, or affiliate sites with related content or broker reviews. Educational content is allowed only if it offers no investment advice, tips or technical trend analysis.
Avoid brand bidding on any program name unless you have written permission.
Compliance: risk, claims and regulation
Signals and trading tools sit close to investment advice, and regulators watch them closely. Depending on the jurisdiction, promoting them can fall under financial-promotion or investment-advice rules.
No performance promises
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission warns that social-media fraud schemes often tout trade signals and automated trading software and brag about huge "win" percentages. Do not publish win rates, ROI figures or "passive income" claims, even if a signal provider supplies them. Add a plain risk warning: crypto trading is high risk, and users can lose all of the money they put in.
UK financial promotion rules
The FCA's cryptoasset promotions regime has applied since October 8, 2023 to all firms marketing cryptoassets to UK consumers, including firms based overseas. A promotion must be communicated or approved through one of a few lawful routes; otherwise it breaches section 21 of FSMA, a criminal offence.
The FCA's social media guidance (FG24/1) adds that unauthorized influencers who promote regulated financial products without approval may be committing a criminal offence. Whether a given tool or signal service is in scope depends on the product, so take legal advice before targeting UK users.
Program rules and eligibility
TradingView excludes sanctioned territories and persons, and Bitsgap does not accept partners from Russia or Belarus. Most programs ban self-referral and multiple accounts.
Disclosure
Disclose the affiliate relationship next to every recommendation. TradingView's rules require it where advertising disclosure laws such as the FTC's Endorsement Guides apply.
How to choose a trading-tool affiliate program
- Match the product to your audience. Beginners respond to charting and simple bots; experienced traders want automation, backtesting and integrations.
- Model the commission against churn. Recurring deals pay more for sticky products; a fixed fee is safer when users cancel quickly.
- Read the promotion rules first. Paid-ad approval, keyword bans and claim restrictions limit your channels more than the commission rate does.
- Check payout method and minimums. PayPal (TradingView), platform balance (Cryptohopper) and stablecoins (Bitsgap, WunderTrading) suit different businesses.
- Compare attribution. TrendSpider tracks for a year; most others use 30 or 90 days.
- Confirm eligibility. Check that you and your audience are in accepted territories, and that the promotion is legal there.
Run a trading-tool partner program

Yes. As of October 2026, TradingView pays new partners a fixed one-time commission of $10 to $400 per eligible first subscription, depending on the plan, with a 90-day cookie and monthly PayPal payouts.
Do crypto signal providers pay affiliates?
Some marketplaces do. Cryptohopper pays affiliates 10% of the 15% it keeps from each paid signal, which is small; most affiliate revenue in this niche comes from platform subscriptions.
Which trading tools pay recurring commissions?
As of October 2026, Cryptohopper (10%–15%), TrendSpider (10%–30% for 12 months) and WunderTrading (30%–50% lifetime) pay recurring commissions on subscriptions.
Can I advertise crypto signals on Google Ads?

Can I share my trading results to promote a tool?
Avoid it. Program rules such as TradingView's and TrendSpider's ban misleading profit or performance claims, and regulators treat win-rate marketing as a fraud red flag.
