Editorial Standards
The Coin Daily is committed to producing accurate, fair, and clearly sourced news and analysis about cryptocurrency markets. This page describes the standards every article on this site is held to before publication.
Sourcing
Every factual claim in our articles is grounded in a primary source where one is available. We list our sources at the bottom of each article. Acceptable primary sources include:
- Exchange and order-book data from named exchanges (with timestamps).
- On-chain data from named block explorers and analytics providers, with transaction hashes or block heights where applicable.
- Public filings from regulators, courts, and government agencies.
- Press releases and official statements from named companies, projects, or institutions.
- Direct interviews and on-the-record statements from named individuals.
We do not publish claims based on anonymous social-media posts, unverified screenshots, or rumours. If a story is breaking and primary sources are still emerging, we say so explicitly and update the article as new information becomes available.
Accuracy
We do not fabricate quotes, invent statistics, or report events that did not happen. Market data, on-chain figures, and regulatory citations are checked against the named source before publication. Where a figure is approximate or contested, we say so.
If we get something wrong, we correct it. See our corrections policy.
Fairness and balance
For contested or developing stories, we aim to represent the relevant perspectives fairly. We give named parties the opportunity to comment where reasonable, and we distinguish clearly between reporting (what happened) and analysis (what it might mean).
We do not publish opinion as fact. Analytical pieces are framed as such.
Separation of editorial and sponsorship
Editorial coverage is independent of any commercial relationship. Specifically:
- We do not give favourable coverage to companies, exchanges, tokens, or projects in exchange for payment.
- Sponsored segments and articles are clearly labelled as SPONSORED at the start, throughout, and at the end. They are visually distinct from editorial content.
- Editorial staff who cover a sector are not the same staff who handle sponsorship deals in that sector. Where overlap is unavoidable in a small team, we disclose the relationship in the article.
- We do not allow sponsors to review, approve, or modify editorial coverage of themselves, their competitors, or their sector.
For our full sponsorship and disclosure policy, see Ownership and Funding.
What we do not publish
The Coin Daily does not publish:
- Personalised investment advice or recommendations to buy, sell, or hold specific assets.
- Specific price targets framed as forecasts (“will hit”, “guaranteed to reach”, etc.).
- Affiliate-driven endorsements presented as editorial content.
- Token-launch promotion presented as news.
- Realistic synthetic media depicting real, named individuals saying things they did not say.

How AI fits in
We use AI tools to assist with research, drafting, summarisation, and production. Every article is published under the editorial oversight of a named human editor, who is accountable for the standards above. The AI executes within editorial constraints; the editor decides what stands and what is corrected or removed. See our AI disclosure for details.
