Ethics Policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026

Readers rely on us for information they may use with real money. This policy sets out how CryptoNewsLive keeps its reporting independent of the projects, exchanges and people it covers. It works together with our editorial standards.

No payment for coverage

Nobody can pay for a news article, an analysis or a headline on CryptoNewsLive. We do not accept tokens, airdrops, presale or private-sale allocations, free exchange accounts, fee rebates or any other benefit from a project or company in exchange for coverage. Paid content exists only in the labelled sponsored section described on our how we make money page.

Personal holdings and trading

Authors tell the publication about any holding in a token or company they are about to write about that could reasonably be seen as affecting their judgment.
When a holding is material, the article says so, or the story is given to another author.
Nobody at CryptoNewsLive buys or sells a token on the strength of an unpublished article about it, and authors do not trade in the period between finishing an article and publishing it.
We do not promote a token we hold, and we do not write price calls designed to move one.

Relationships with projects and exchanges

We may speak with project teams, exchange staff and other sources. That contact does not give them any say over what we publish. Sources, sponsors and advertisers do not see an article before it is published and cannot ask for changes to it. Where a project or exchange named in an article is also a sponsor or advertiser of CryptoNewsLive, the article says so.

Gifts, travel and events

We do not accept gifts, free travel or paid hospitality from people or companies we cover. If we ever attend an event at someone else’s expense, we will say so in the article.

People and wallets

We do not name or speculate about private individuals. A blockchain address with no public label is not described as belonging to an insider, a team member or a seller. A wallet is called a holder or a seller only when an explorer label or at least two primary sources identify it. When we cover hacks and scams, we report what the victims, the protocol and the on-chain record show and nothing beyond that.

Anonymous sources

We prefer sources on the record. An anonymous source is used only when the information matters, cannot be obtained otherwise, and the source is known to an editor. The article explains why anonymity was granted. Information from an anonymous source is checked against a second source or a primary record before it is published.
