Detailed observation of presented data
Crypto & Blockchain cost-per-purchase (CPP) sits well above the broader advertising baseline: median Cost Per Purchase for Crypto & Blockchain averaged roughly $113.5 across the available months, compared with a global benchmark average near $47.6. This analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks. This analysis explores ad performance trends for Crypto & Blockchain in All countries available compared to the global benchmark.
The Crypto & Blockchain timeframe begins at about $107.7 in September 2025 and finishes at roughly $121.0 in March 2026 — a clear upward momentum of about +12% over that span. The three-month series shows a steady lift from $107.7 (2025-09) to $111.96 (2026-02, +4% vs Sept) and then to $120.98 (2026-03, +8% vs Feb). The selected median CPP averaged $113.5, ranging narrowly from $107.7 to $121.0 — a $13.3 range.
By contrast the global baseline (months from July 2025 through July 2026) centers around $47.6, with a high near $56.0 (March 2026) and a low near $19.7 (July 2026). On average, Crypto & Blockchain CPP ran about 139% higher than the baseline across matching months: Crypto’s $113.5 versus baseline’s $47.6. Month-by-month gaps are similarly large — Crypto CPP was roughly double baseline in September 2025 (≈+103%), and more than double in February and March 2026 (≈+120% and +116%, respectively).
Volatility in Crypto & Blockchain looks moderate in absolute dollars: average month-over-month moves were about $6.7 (roughly 6% relative to the Crypto mean across the observed transitions). The baseline shows larger relative swings driven by a pronounced trough in July 2026; average absolute monthly change on the baseline is about $4.8, which represents roughly a 10% relative swing because of that deep dip.
The Crypto & Blockchain series is short but directional — a steady lift into early 2026 rather than sharp month-to-month churn. The baseline exhibits more classic seasonal rhythm: a March 2026 peak (~$56), mid-year softening into June, and an abrupt trough in July 2026 (~$19.7) that drives elevated measured volatility. Where the baseline shows a pronounced seasonal trough in mid-summer, Crypto & Blockchain in this sample tracked upward into Q1 2026, producing a widening gap versus the global pattern through March.
Across the months available, Crypto & Blockchain CPP is consistently and substantially above market: roughly 100–140% higher than global Cost Per Purchase benchmarks depending on the month. The global baseline’s March uptick (~$56) narrows the gap slightly versus Crypto’s March value, but the overall relationship remains that Crypto & Blockchain is well above average. Measured volatility is different in kind: Crypto’s dollar swings are larger but, relative to its higher mean, slightly more muted than the baseline’s percentage volatility (which is inflated by a mid-year trough).

Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs
Facebook advertising costs vary based on many factors including industry, target audience, ad placement, and campaign objectives. In the Crypto & Blockchain industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. Geographic targeting affects ad costs based on market competition and user engagement in different regions. Different campaign objectives lead to varying costs based on how Facebook optimizes for your specific goals. The data shown represents median values across multiple campaigns, and individual results may vary based on ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.
We use the median CTR because the underlying distribution of click-through rates is highly skewed, with a small share of campaigns achieving extremely high CTRs. These outliers can inflate a simple average, making it less representative of what most advertisers actually experience. By using the median—which sits at the midpoint of all campaigns—we provide a more rigorous and realistic benchmark that reflects the true underlying data model and helps you set attainable performance expectations.
Note: This data represents industry median values and benchmarks. Your actual costs may vary based on specific targeting, ad creative quality, and campaign optimization.

All data is sourced from over $3B in Facebook ad spend, collected across thousands of ad accounts that use Superads daily to analyze and improve their campaigns. Every data point is fully anonymized and aggregated—no individual advertiser is ever exposed.
This dataset updates frequently as new ad data flows in. It will only get bigger and better.
It depends on your product price and margins. Most brands aim for $10 to $50. For higher-ticket products, a higher CPA may be acceptable as long as you're maintaining a strong return on ad spend.
Higher-priced products typically have a higher CPA because people take longer to convert. That's not necessarily a problem if your margin can support it. You should measure CPA in context with AOV and LTV.
Your AOV may be increasing, which helps maintain ROAS even if CPA rises. You could also be facing higher CPMs, lower conversion rates, or creative fatigue.
Manual bidding can help if you're struggling to stay within target CPA. It's best used by experienced advertisers who can monitor performance and adjust regularly. It gives more control, but also requires more effort.
Increase budget gradually, rotate creative often, and avoid overlapping audiences. Scaling too quickly can lead to audience saturation and rising CPAs.
