Frequently asked questions
What news do you consider significant enough to cover?
Mainly what actually affects decisions users make: exchange security incidents, major regulatory developments, and significant market-structure events. We skip price speculation without confirmed underlying facts.
Where do your articles get their facts from?
Official sources — regulator announcements, exchange statements, court filings, and legislative text. We verify facts in every article before publishing rather than repeating unverified reports from other outlets.
Do you report on problems at exchanges you have an affiliate relationship with?
Yes — editorial independence matters more to us than affiliate revenue. If an exchange we're affiliated with has a real problem worth reporting, we cover it plainly, without an affiliate link attached to that coverage.
