Cryptocurrency advertising remains largely untapped—a genuinely surprising gap in the digital landscape. Two particularly compelling directions are emerging: first, tokenized ad spaces that enable fractional ownership and community-driven monetization of ad inventory; second, targeted onchain advertising that leverages transparent, verifiable user data and wallet behavior rather than opaque third-party tracking. The potential here is substantial. As blockchain adoption accelerates, we could see fundamentally new models reshape how brands connect with audiences—removing intermediaries, improving transparency, and creating genuine value alignment between publishers, advertisers, and users.

On-chain advertising has really been asleep, but it's a good thing that it's starting to heat up now. Tokenized ad spaces sound good, but how many can actually be implemented? Wallet behavior targeting is much more transparent than third-party tracking, I agree. Eliminating intermediaries is easy to say but hard to do, everyone. It feels like the next big trend is right here—who can break through first will win.

On-chain advertising is indeed a gold mine. Why isn't anyone developing it properly? Tokenized ad spaces sound good, but can the community really manage it? Or is it just another pump-and-dump frenzy? I believe in transparent targeted advertising. Anyway, Google's third-party tracking system has long been outdated. The key is execution. Web3 never lacks ideas; what’s missing are truly usable products. What happens if intermediaries disappear? Will advertisers still buy in? It’s not that simple. If this wave really succeeds, the advertising empires of Google and Facebook will have to be reshuffled. Just thinking about it is exciting. Wallet behavior data is more transparent now, but privacy issues come up again. It’s always a dilemma. The space is indeed large, but who will be the first to take the plunge? It seems we’ll have to wait a few more years.

Well, finally someone said it. The advertising sector is indeed a severely underestimated blue ocean. I agree most with the point about on-chain advertising transparency. It's much better than Google's black box tracking system. Tokenized ad spaces sound good, but will they really be implemented or just turn into another round of rug pulls... --- The potential for Web3 advertising is real; it all depends on who can create something usable first. --- The phrase about eliminating intermediaries sounds great every time, but in practice... --- It feels like a replay of Bitcoin's early days, everyone talks about disruption, but in the end, big capital players still win. --- The verifiability of wallet behavior data is interesting. But how is privacy protected? --- Honestly, with advertising, no matter how transparent, users still get disturbed. This fundamental issue can't be changed.

On-chain advertising does have some opportunities, but to be honest, it's still too early. Tokenized ad spaces sound good, but I'm worried it might just become a new trick to harvest retail investors. Transparency is great, but I'm still a bit concerned about user data being on-chain... Reliable targeted advertising is indeed scarce; right now, Web3 is filled with a bunch of trash ad projects. It's definitely nice to eliminate middlemen, but the key is that the ecosystem isn't built yet, so don't get your hopes up too high.

Wow, is no one really mastering tokenized ad spaces? Feels like the next big trend. On-chain targeted advertising eliminates third-party tracking, which is indeed a brilliant logic... just not sure if users are willing. Middlemen are really the worst; transparency is the key. Advertising has always been monopolized by traditional giants. Can crypto break through? I'm a bit hopeful. Eliminating intermediaries sounds nice, but the key is who will execute it. Isn't this just returning advertising rights to the community? Just thinking about it feels great.
