Editorial policy

This policy describes how we select topics, verify figures, handle corrections and disclose conflicts of interest at CryptoRadar24. It applies to every report published on this site, without exception.

What we publish

CryptoRadar24 publishes original analysis of public cryptocurrency market data. Every report begins with a cross-source analytical query — a SQL question that joins at least two independent datasets from the seven public APIs we aggregate. The finding that the query surfaces is the centre of the report.

We do not rewrite, summarize or repackage content from other publishers. We do not republish press releases. We do not produce sponsored content disguised as analysis.

What we do not publish

  • Investment advice, trading signals, or buy/sell/hold recommendations for any asset.
  • Price predictions or guaranteed-return claims.
  • Personalized financial advice of any kind.
  • Paid listings disguised as editorial analysis. All sponsored content is clearly labelled.
  • Anonymous tips, rumors, or unverifiable claims. Every figure traces back to a named public source.

Verification process

Every report passes through five steps before publication:

  1. Query selection — a cross-source query is chosen from our maintained library. Source coverage is rebalanced so no single dataset dominates recent output.
  2. Narrative planning — the most significant finding becomes the centre; a structured outline is drafted.
  3. Drafting — the body is written against the outline, grounded entirely in the numbers the query returned.
  4. Factcheck — every numeric claim is re-queried against the raw dataset. Figures that cannot be reproduced exactly are corrected or removed.
  5. Correction pass — discrepancies surfaced in factcheck are corrected in a second editing pass.

Full methodology is on our methodology page.

Corrections

If you find a factual error in a published report, please email [email protected] with the article URL and the specific claim you believe to be incorrect. We aim to review verified corrections within 48 hours.

When we correct a report, the body is updated, a correction note is appended, and the article is republished with a new dateModified timestamp. Corrections are not silent — readers who cited the earlier version can see what changed.

Sources and attribution

Every figure published on this site traces back to a named public source and the timestamp at which our infrastructure captured it. The public sources we rely on are:

  • CoinGecko — prices, market cap, trading volume
  • DeFiLlama — DeFi total value locked by protocol and chain
  • Binance Futures — open interest, funding rates, long/short ratios
  • GitHub — commits, contributors and repository activity per project
  • Fear & Greed Index (alternative.me) — aggregated market sentiment score
  • FRED (St. Louis Fed) — macroeconomic indicators
  • CryptoPanic + RSS feeds — news headlines and event markers

Conflicts of interest and sponsored content

CryptoRadar24 earns revenue primarily through affiliate relationships with cryptocurrency exchanges (Bybit, OKX, Binance, MEXC, Bitget and others). When we link to an exchange via an affiliate link, the link carries rel="sponsored" and the page includes a visible affiliate disclosure.

Affiliate relationships do not influence analytical output. Specifically: we do not soften analysis of an asset to please an exchange; we do not remove warnings about risky assets because they are traded on an affiliate partner; and exchanges have no preview of, or input into, editorial content before publication.

Sponsored analysis or native ad placements, when they exist, carry an explicit "Sponsored" label at the top of the content and are excluded from our editorial-process claims.

Authorship

Editorial work is led by our editor-in-chief Jonathan Reed, a pen name used for bylines. Editorial accountability rests with CryptoRadar24 Research Ltd. See the author page for the full pen-name disclosure.

Independence

CryptoRadar24 is not owned by, affiliated with, or operated for any token issuer, exchange, investment fund, or marketing firm. We do not accept payment in cryptocurrency or tokens, and we do not hold material positions in any asset we analyse beyond small incidental balances for testing.
