Objective
Binance aimed to penetrate APAC markets by acquiring high-value crypto traders. The campaign focused on experienced users with proven trading activity and substantial portfolio balances.

Campaign Overview

Binance is a leading cryptocurrency exchange trusted by millions of traders globally. With established dominance in Western markets, the platform sought to expand its user base in the Asia-Pacific region, specifically targeting high-value traders in Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Asia markets.

The campaign ran for 30 days with a total ad spend of $25,000, focusing on user acquisition through precision targeting and continuous optimization.

Challenges & Objectives

Problem / Context: Despite strong brand recognition globally, Binance faced challenges penetrating competitive APAC markets where local exchanges held significant market share. The platform needed to attract experienced, high-value traders who could generate meaningful transaction volume, not just casual signups.

Campaign Goal: Acquire 3,000+ qualified traders generating $300,000+ in transaction volume within 30 days, achieving at least 10x ROAS through targeted wallet-based advertising.

KPIs:

  • New trader signups
  • Transaction volume per user
  • Return on ad spend (ROAS)
  • Cost per acquisition (CPA)

Campaign Objectives:

  • Drive high-quality trader signups with proven crypto transaction history
  • Target users actively engaged in perpetual trading and derivatives
  • Maximize transaction volume per acquired user
  • Achieve cost-effective acquisition (CPA below $10)
  • Establish market presence in key APAC regions

Why It Worked

Execution

1. Precision Wallet Targeting

  • Targeted Active Wallets with verified on-chain transaction history, achieving 4,600 qualified signups at $5.43 CPA
  • Focused on Perpetual Traders experienced in derivatives, generating average $107 transaction volume per user
  • Layered Investing + Forex & Trading interest categories to reach high-intent audiences

2. Geographic Market Concentration

  • Concentrated $25,000 budget across Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Asia, achieving 53% higher acquisition than projected
  • Targeted markets with high crypto adoption and lower local exchange dominance for competitive advantage

3. Continuous Performance Optimization

  • Daily monitoring and budget reallocation based on regional conversion rates, maintaining sub-$10 CPA throughout campaign
  • A/B tested creative assets across audience segments, optimizing for 19.78x ROAS—nearly double the 10x target

Conclusion

  • Wallet-based targeting delivers superior quality over broad reach. By focusing exclusively on Active Wallets and Perpetual Traders, the campaign achieved a 19.78x ROAS—nearly double the 10x target—demonstrating that precision targeting of proven crypto users dramatically outperforms volume-based approaches.
  • Geographic concentration maximizes market penetration efficiency. Focusing the $25,000 budget across three specific APAC regions rather than global distribution resulted in 53% higher trader acquisition than projected, proving that concentrated regional strategies drive faster market establishment.
  • Experience level directly correlates with transaction volume. Targeting Perpetual Traders specifically (users familiar with derivatives and leverage) generated $494K+ in volume from just 4,600 users—an average of $107 per trader—validating the hypothesis that experienced users create outsized platform value.
  • Low CPA ($5.43) enables aggressive scaling opportunities. Achieving less than half the target CPA creates significant headroom for budget expansion while maintaining profitability, suggesting the campaign could scale 3-5× without material efficiency loss.
