Crypto Ruble Coins is funded by advertising and by disclosed affiliate partnerships. This helps keep our journalism and education free to read, and this page explains exactly how those relationships work — and, just as importantly, the lines they never cross.
How affiliate relationships work
Some pages — typically educational guides and exchange or hardware-wallet explainers — may contain affiliate links. If you click one and go on to sign up or buy, we may earn a commission, usually paid by the partner, at no additional cost to you. That commission helps fund our work; it does not change the price you pay. Whether or not a commission is earned has no bearing on what we write: the same relationship, and the same disclosure, would apply to a product we criticise as to one we find useful.
How links are marked
Where a page contains affiliate links, we disclose it clearly and inline on that page, so you always know when a link may earn us a commission. This page is the standing, site-wide version of that disclosure. If you would rather not use an affiliate link, you can always navigate to any product directly.
Our firm promises
- Affiliate relationships never buy favourable coverage, rankings, review scores, or placement. Our editorial judgement is independent of who does or doesn’t have an affiliate deal with us.
- We are never paid for favourable coverage, and advertisers and partners do not preview or approve editorial content.
- We only work with reputable, appropriately-licensed partners relevant to our readers, and we decline anything that conflicts with our non-facilitation stance — including any exchange, conversion, or off-ramp promotion aimed at moving value out of a sanctioned jurisdiction.
- Affiliate or sponsored content is never dressed up as independent editorial. Anything commercial is labelled.
Where affiliate links appear — and where they don’t
When they appear at all, affiliate links are concentrated in practical, educational contexts — for example a guide to choosing a hardware wallet or an explainer on how exchanges work — where a relevant, reputable product genuinely helps the reader. They do not appear on our compliance, safety, corrections, or disclaimer pages, and they never determine what we choose to cover or how we cover it. News and analysis are written independently of any commercial relationship.
How we choose partners
We consider only reputable, appropriately-licensed products relevant to our readers, and we weigh a partner’s track record, security, and regulatory standing — not the size of the commission. We can end a relationship at any time if a partner’s conduct becomes inconsistent with our standards, and we will not promote anything that conflicts with our non-facilitation stance. You are, of course, always free to reach any product directly rather than through our links.
Why we’re this strict
Crypto is a space where “reviews” are often paid placements in disguise. We think readers deserve to know exactly where the money comes from, so they can weigh our coverage accordingly. Our approach here is part of the wider standards set out in our editorial guidelines, and questions are always welcome via contact.
Not financial or legal advice. Crypto Ruble Coins is an independent news and education publication. It is not a cryptocurrency exchange, a currency-conversion or off-ramp service, or a payment facilitator, and it does not facilitate sanctions evasion. Crypto is volatile and high-risk.
