Editorial Policy

This page sets out how TheCoinrise decides what to publish, how we separate editorial from paid content, and what we do when we get something wrong. It is written to be checked, not admired.

The four commitments

  • Editorial decisions are made by the newsroom. Advertisers have no input into what we cover or when.
  • Every paid placement carries a label, a disclosure and nofollowed links. There are no exceptions and no unmarked ones.
  • A claim we cannot attribute to a named source or a primary document does not get published as fact.
  • Corrections are made in the article, marked in the article, and never made silently.

How a story gets published

Every editorial article on this site passes the same five stages. The stage that matters most is the second one: a story that cannot be traced back to a primary document or to independent reporting does not proceed, however good the headline would have been.

Editorial pipeline

From signal to published story

  1. Stage 01DiscoverFilings, protocol releases, exchange disclosures and the wires, monitored continuously.
  2. Stage 02VerifyTrace every figure to a primary document or to two independent outlets. Unverifiable claims are dropped, not hedged.
  3. Stage 03WriteState what is known, name who reported it, and say plainly what is still unconfirmed.
  4. Stage 04EditChecked against the standards on this page before it can publish.
  5. Stage 05CorrectIf it turns out to be wrong, it is fixed in place and the fix is noted.

A story that fails stage two is not published late – it is not published. Skipping a slot costs us nothing; printing something we cannot stand behind costs the reader.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made by the newsroom. Advertisers, sponsors and commercial partners have no input into what we cover, how we cover it, or when it publishes. No advertiser sees an editorial article before publication, and no amount of spend buys editorial coverage or a change to it.

What is paid, and how you can tell

We sell press releases, presale placements, sponsored articles and sponsored reviews. We do not pretend otherwise, and we do not hide them. Every paid placement on this site carries three markers.

Disclosure

The three markers on every paid placement

SPONSORED Disclosure: not written by TheCoinrise, not endorsed, not verified. 1 A label above the article Visible before the first line, not buried at the foot. 2 A disclosure block at the end Saying we did not write it and have not verified it. 3 rel=”sponsored nofollow” on every link So a paid link passes no search ranking credit.

Marking paid links this way is what search engines require of publishers. Sites that quietly sell followed links are the reason paid crypto coverage has the reputation it has.

What money can buy

  • A labelled placement in the paid section
  • A banner in a house advertising slot
  • A press release published as a press release

What it cannot

  • Editorial coverage, or a mention inside one
  • A followed link from anywhere on this site
  • Removal or softening of an unfavourable story
  • Sight of an article before it publishes

Sourcing

Figures come from primary documents wherever a primary document exists: a regulatory filing, a protocol release, an exchange disclosure, a court record. Where we are relying on another outlet’s reporting, we name that outlet in the sentence, so a reader can weigh the source rather than take our word for it.

We do not publish price targets or forecasts. Nobody can produce one with a defensible method, and a number in a headline is read as a prediction whatever the disclaimer underneath it says.

Artificial intelligence

We use software to monitor sources, to compare how different outlets have reported the same event, and to draft. Nothing publishes without editorial review against the standards on this page, and the responsibility for what appears here is ours, not a tool’s. Where a story is assembled by comparing multiple outlets’ reporting, we say so in the story.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, we want to fix it rather than defend it. Email advertising@thecoinrise.com with a link to the article and what you believe is inaccurate.

  • TypographicalFixed silently. A misplaced comma is not a correction.
  • FactualFixed in the article, with a note at the foot saying what changed and when.
  • SubstantiveIf the error changes what the story means, the note goes at the top, and the headline is changed if the headline was wrong.
  • RetractionIf a story should not have run, it is marked as retracted and the reason is published. It is not deleted.

Ownership and funding

TheCoinrise is funded by advertising, press releases and sponsored placements – all labelled – and it is privately owned. We take no funding from any project we cover, and we hold no positions in the assets we write about.

Nothing on this site is investment advice. We are a publisher, not an adviser, a broker or a fund.
