Step by step
How to claim your bonus
Five steps from zero to bonus credited. Follow them in order — skipping any step means you don't receive the reward.
1
Click the referral link
Use the referral link — it takes you directly to the Crypto.com Exchange sign-up page with the referral code pre-populated in the field. Works on desktop and mobile browser.
Fill in your email, password, and confirm the referral code field is populated. If the code did not auto-fill, type it in manually — this is the critical step.

⚠️A referral code from the wrong platform (App vs Exchange) will not work unless the referrer has explicitly linked both accounts. Make sure you are signing up at crypto.com/exchange — not the Crypto.com App.
3
Verify your identity — Advanced KYC
The bonus requires Advanced-level KYC verification, not just the basic level. You will need to submit a government-issued ID and a selfie. This is a one-time process.
ℹ️Basic KYC is not sufficient. If you complete only Starter or Intermediate verification, the bonus will not be unlocked — you must reach Advanced level.
4
Complete your first CRO lockup (stake)
Lock up (stake) CRO on the Crypto.com Exchange. The amount you stake determines your bonus tier — a minimum of 1,000 CRO is required. The bonus CRO you receive does not count toward this threshold.
⚠️Only your own CRO counts. CRO received as a bonus cannot be used to hit the stake threshold for this or any subsequent requirement.
5
Receive your CRO bonus instantly
Once Advanced KYC and your first CRO lockup are both confirmed, your bonus is credited to your CRO wallet immediately — no waiting period, no manual claim required.

🚫 What does NOT count

CRO received as bonus counting toward your stake threshold
Using a mismatched App/Exchange referral code when accounts aren't linked
Residents of UK, Hong Kong, or EEA Member States — programme not available
🚫Geographic exclusions. The Crypto.com Exchange Referral Programme is not available to residents of the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and EEA Member States (all EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway). If you reside in one of these jurisdictions, you are not eligible to receive the sign-up bonus.
Also worth knowing
A separate new-user promo is also live
SEPARATE OFFER
20% CRO fee rebate for a year, via TradingView
Independent of the sign-up bonus above, Crypto.com is running a promotion for new users who link their account through the TradingView broker panel: a 20% CRO rebate on net trading fees for 12 months, running 3 June 2026 to 2 June 2027. This uses its own sign-up flow and referral code — it does not automatically apply to the r9yvz9yuv6 code on this page, so treat it as a separate opportunity rather than a stacked bonus.
Direct answers based on the official Crypto.com Exchange help documentation.
You receive up to US$50 in CRO based on your first CRO stake amount. Staking 1,000–4,999 CRO earns you US$10 in CRO. Staking 5,000 CRO or more earns you US$50 in CRO. The bonus is credited in CRO and does not count toward your staked amount.
Three things: (1) sign up via a referral link or enter code r9yvz9yuv6 during registration, (2) complete Advanced KYC verification, and (3) complete your first CRO lockup of at least 1,000 CRO on the Exchange. All three must be done. Once all are confirmed, the bonus is credited instantly.
Yes — you can apply a referral code up to 1 year after your account registration. Go to the Crypto.com Exchange home page → Partnerships → Referral → click Enter a referral code here → input r9yvz9yuv6 → Submit.
No. The App and Exchange referral programmes are separate, though the referral code itself can be shared across both platforms if the referrer has linked their App and Exchange accounts — the referral links, however, are always different between the two. Make sure you are signing up at crypto.com/exchange.
The programme is not available in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and EEA Member States (all EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway). Residents of these jurisdictions are not eligible to receive the sign-up bonus regardless of referral code used.
The bonus is credited instantly once all conditions are confirmed — Advanced KYC approved and first CRO lockup complete. There is no waiting period or manual claim required.
No. CRO received as a sign-up bonus does not count toward your staked amount. You must use your own CRO to meet the 1,000 CRO (or 5,000 CRO for the max bonus) lockup requirement.
Yes. Separately from the referral sign-up bonus, Crypto.com is running a 20% CRO trading fee rebate for 12 months for new users who link their account via the TradingView broker panel, running 3 June 2026 to 2 June 2027. This uses a different sign-up flow and referral code from the one on this page, so treat it as a separate offer rather than something that stacks automatically with your r9yvz9yuv6 sign-up.
