Most of KrabX's volume comes through one listing site today. Microsoft paid search builds a second, steady source of high-net-worth and business traders, starting now. It grows as campaigns run and results come in.
A trusted desk with one main source of customers, and no paid ads yet.
From our October 16 call, plus the trade count on krabx.com (read October 21, 2026). SEO began in early summer 2026 and is just starting to pay off.
Microsoft asks crypto advertisers for a risk disclosure, published fees and a real address. Your site already carries all three (Where You Can Advertise has the sources).
Your seed searches, grown into themes and sized for Microsoft.
| Your seed | The theme it grows into | Est. Microsoft searches a month |
|---|---|---|
| bitcoin otc desk | Bitcoin and crypto OTC desk searches (18 terms) | 362 to 785 |
| sell large amount of bitcoin for wire | Selling and cashing out large amounts (7 terms; your exact phrase has no measured volume yet) | 95 to 206 |
| buy bitcoin with wire transfer | Buying bitcoin by wire or bank transfer (10 terms) | 77 to 166 |
| buy USDT with wire transfer | USDT by wire, Texas left out (5 terms) | 36 to 78 |
| buy large amounts of bitcoin | Buying large amounts (6 terms) | 16 to 35 |
| buy Ethereum with wire transfer | Ethereum and other coins by wire (3 terms) | 16 to 35 |
Estimated. Ahrefs counts US searches on Google (pulled October 21, 2026), and we scale each count by Bing's share of US search against Google's (StatCounter, September 2026): all devices for the low end, desktop for the high end. Shown before state exclusions. Microsoft's own planner sizes it exactly once we're building.
Read these as a starting point, not a ceiling. Keyword tools, including the platforms' own planners, tend to undercount long, specific searches like these. They sample and round, and many real searches show little or no volume. Your own phrase, "sell large amount of bitcoin for wire," shows none at all. The ranges also count Bing only, not the Yahoo and DuckDuckGo searches that carry Microsoft ads too.
Someone who searches for an OTC desk or a large wire purchase tells you the trade size in the search itself. This is precision, not volume.
Microsoft accepts crypto exchanges like yours in search today, once it approves the account.
Each platform's own rules, read October 21, 2026. Every line links to its source.
| Microsoft requires | Where KrabX stands | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-approval to advertise in Search; the US is an accepted market | Your account is linked to ours. The application comes next | Financial services policy |
| A payment method and active ads on the account before applying | A small starter campaign goes live first, as Microsoft asked | Application page |
| A website domain at least 18 months old | Met. krabx.com was registered April 19, 2025 | Policy, registry record |
| The exchange established at least 18 months | A question for you: the date KrabX started | Application page |
| A risk disclosure in the ad or on the page | Met. Your footer and risk disclosure page carry it | Policy |
| Fees, contact details and a street address (no PO Box) disclosed | Met. Your pricing page and Okemos address | Policy |
| No government seals or imagery that implies endorsement | We mention registration as plain text, never a seal | Policy |
| A manager account used only for crypto ads | We set it up that way from day one | Policy |
| Exclude any location where you don't meet its licensing rules | See the states below | Policy |
| Submitting does not guarantee approval | Microsoft's call, and it doesn't publish a review time | Application page |
| Phase | What opens it | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Meta, next | Written permission from Meta (your FinCEN registration is on its accepted US list), once the restricted profile is sorted | Meta crypto policy |
| Google, later | Once a state license is in place | Google crypto policy |
Your counsel has the last word on any state. We set the exclusions before a single ad runs.
Start with the searches open to you now. Each next channel opens on results or a license.
Starter campaign, the crypto application, then the full search build once Microsoft approves.
A pilot Microsoft allows for approved exchanges, once search has a baseline.
Once the restricted profile is sorted and Meta gives written permission.
Once a state license is in place and Google certifies the account.
Results and licensing open each step, never the calendar. Steps after Microsoft search are not in either option today; we price them when they open.
A starting split of the ad budget, moved toward whatever brings larger trades. Competitor names wait until the core searches have a baseline. The budget itself gets sized from Microsoft's own planner once we're building.
| Sample campaign | Ad groups | Example searches | Est. Microsoft searches a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| OTC Desk | Bitcoin OTC desk Crypto OTC desk | bitcoin otc desk · crypto otc · otc bitcoin · otc desk crypto · crypto otc desk | 362 to 785 |
| Buy by Wire | Bitcoin by wire Ethereum and crypto by wire | buy bitcoin with wire transfer · buy bitcoin with bank transfer · buy ethereum with wire transfer · buy crypto with wire transfer | 93 to 201 |
| Large Trades and Cash Out | Buy large amounts Sell and cash out | buy large amounts of bitcoin · how to cash out large amounts of bitcoin · sell bitcoin to bank account · cash out bitcoin | 111 to 242 |
| Stablecoin by Wire Texas left out | USDT by wire | buy usdt with wire transfer · buy usdt with usd · buy usdt in bulk | 36 to 78 |
| Four sample campaigns | 7 ad groups | 49 search terms in all | 602 to 1,306 |
Estimated by the method on Where The Growth Is, before state exclusions; Microsoft's planner sizes it exactly once we're building. The highest-intent exact searches get their own ad groups. Ads and the page speak to trade size, so smaller traders sort themselves out.
Your spread makes break-even simple to read.
$5,000 ÷ 6.5% = $76,923. Check: $76,923 × 6.5% = $5,000. An illustration, not our spend recommendation. Sells carry a lower spread, so a sell-heavy month needs more volume.
The goal from the call: a consistent second source of high-net-worth and business traders. We don't invent targets for a channel you've never run.
A starting proposal that gets us working together now, with room to grow as results come in.
| Line | Option 1 | Option 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Ads management | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| Pages and CRO | Not included | $1,500 |
| A month | $2,000 | $3,500 |
| One time | None | None |
| Ad spend | Paid to Microsoft | Paid to Microsoft |
Microsoft Ads management is the greater of $2,000 a month or 10% of the ad spend we manage, never both. No setup fee.
Weeks count from access. Our team schedules the kickoff once the agreement is signed.
Microsoft doesn't publish a review time. If approval takes longer, everything after it shifts right.
You get a reporting dashboard, a shared Slack channel, and email replies within 24 to 48 hours.
Pick the starting option. We send the agreement in writing, and our team schedules the kickoff once it's signed.
