The Super Bowl excitement from the cryptocurrency era ended when the Seattle Seahawks achieved their second championship victory through a 29-13 win against the New England Patriots. Yet the more intense battle played out beyond the field, where brands competed fiercely for attention during commercial breaks. The advertising during this year’s event received equal attention to the actual game.

Super Bowl 2022 established cryptocurrency as the dominant force. The event received the name “Crypto Bowl,” which showcased extravagant blockchain demonstrations and made bold business claims. The year 2026 brought a different atmosphere. The primary theme of the event focused on artificial intelligence technology. Cryptocurrency appeared throughout the event, but it no longer felt like the main character.

The cultural atmosphere has changed. The excitement about the event has diminished. People now want to see real things instead of watching entertaining shows.

Cryptocurrency Takes Back Seat in Super Bowl Advertising

The number of crypto advertisements decreased significantly compared to previous years. The industry, which previously wanted to show its products during prime-time shows, now displays more restraint.

Coinbase brought the largest impact. The exchange returned after its iconic 2022 QR code campaign with a 60-second karaoke-style commercial set to the Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).” The advertisement used retro low-definition visuals, which showed the lyrics on televisions that functioned as sing-along lyric screens.

The audience response showed mixed results, which leaned toward negative feedback. Some viewers praised the nostalgia. The others described it as “lazy,” “cheap,” and “low-effort.” At some watch parties, people reportedly booed once they realized the ad was for Coinbase.

The commercial did not demonstrate innovation because it brought the company back to its previous state. Nostalgia does not serve as the best promotional tool for a sector that depends on future developments.

Cryptocurrency Competes With AI and High-Concept Creativity

The world of cryptocurrency experienced difficulties in gaining cultural acceptance, while artificial intelligence reached its highest level of public recognition. Kris Marszalek, who serves as the CEO of Crypto.com, participated in an advertisement that showcased AI.com, which operates as a new artificial intelligence platform. The message was clear: the next tech frontier is intelligence, not tokens.

The creative brands achieved success during the initial stages of the competition because they produced advertisements that became the most popular selection among judges.

Hellmann’s brought their absurd humour through Andy Samberg’s performance, which turned Neil Diamond into a character who sang about bologna. Squarespace produced an impactful advertisement that used black-and-white visuals to show Emma Stone experiencing a severe breakdown about her lost website domain. Pringles adopted a playful, campy style through Sabrina Carpenter’s appearance in their “Pringleleo” advertisement. The commercial for Instacart created disorder when Ben Stiller and Benson Boone appeared in a fast-paced advertisement, which included numerous quick scene changes that Spike Jonze directed.

The ads succeeded because their boldness and unusual nature created a strong impact that people would remember.

Cryptocurrency functions as a disruptive force but now operates with reduced sound and increased caution. The situation might show that the industry has reached its mature stage. The situation might show that he is unable to move forward after experiencing too much.

Super Bowl 2026 created a decisive shift in the sports world. Cryptocurrency has lost its status as the main attraction. The company needs to create new content that will attract audience interest beyond its existing nostalgic materials. The company needs to develop an entirely new narrative.
