Cointelegraph has spent the last 13 years documenting the rise of blockchain, cryptocurrency and Web3.
From the early days of niche online forums to today’s global markets and multibillion-dollar enterprises, we have covered the industry as it evolved from experiment to an established financial and technological sector.
As the space matures, so too must the standards and clarity of its coverage.
Today, we are formalizing our editorial approach to reflect the industry’s growing complexity, institutional participation and global impact.
What does this mean?
We believe blockchain and digital assets represent a significant technological development with economic, political and social implications. When applied responsibly, these technologies have the potential to reshape financial infrastructure, ownership models and information systems.
At the same time, we recognize that innovation carries risk. Crypto has attracted both credible builders and bad actors. Alongside meaningful breakthroughs, the industry has seen fraud, periods of speculative excess and governance failures.
Our responsibility is straightforward: to report accurately, analyze critically and provide context that helps readers understand both opportunity and risk.
We will continue to scrutinize projects, policies and participants across the ecosystem. We will examine token structures, incentives, regulatory frameworks and market behavior with rigor. Where misconduct occurs, we will report it clearly. Where innovation advances the space, we will explain why it matters.
Cointelegraph’s role is not to promote nor to dismiss, but to inform.
Our editorial approach
As a crypto-native publication, we bring deep sector expertise and long-term familiarity with the market’s cycles, narratives and structural changes. That perspective allows us to distinguish between durable developments and short-term noise.
Our editorial coverage will remain guided by principles that have shaped our reporting to date:
Pragmatic decentralization
Pragmatic privacy
Personal sovereignty
Digital ownership rights
These themes reflect ongoing debates within the industry and will continue to inform our analysis and reporting.
We will highlight meaningful innovation, examine policy shifts, question unsustainable practices and provide readers with clear, fact-based journalism.
Our commitment is to accuracy, context and accountability.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
