Google has announced new certifications available to all advertisers starting in May 2026.
These certifications include areas such as cryptocurrency exchanges and software wallets, cryptocurrency hardware wallets, cryptocurrency coin trust, and complex speculative financial products.

As a result of this update, advertisers will no longer apply for these certifications via the Google Ads Help Center.
However, existing certifications and pending applications will remain unaffected by this change.
