Editorial Policy

How CryptoGuide decides what to publish, and what nobody can buy. Last updated 19 August 2026.

Sourcing

Every quantitative claim we publish must trace to a named source with the time it was read. "On-chain data suggests" and "analysts expect" are not sourcing and do not pass review. Where two reputable sources disagree on a figure, we publish both and say they disagree.

This applies to the whole published artefact, including structured data. A figure that appears in a page's schema markup is held to exactly the same standard as one in a paragraph.

Both cases

Every analysis carries a bull case and a bear case, and the bear case is written to be persuasive rather than as a token caveat. An analysis that cannot state why it might be wrong is sent back.

What money cannot buy

  • Coverage. No project can pay to be analysed.
  • A score. No project can pay to influence a Crypto Score or a grade.
  • A position. No project can pay to rank higher, or to have a competitor moved down.
  • Removal. No project can pay to have a critical analysis taken down or softened. We correct genuine factual errors; we do not retract inconvenient conclusions.

Conflicts of interest

Contributors may hold crypto assets, including assets we cover. A holding never justifies a favourable view. Where a contributor has a material position in an asset central to a piece, the piece discloses it.

Corrections

We correct errors promptly and visibly. If a figure was wrong, we fix it and note the correction rather than quietly editing. Report an error via the contact page with the URL and a contradicting source — corrections get priority over everything else.

Use of AI

We use AI tooling in research and drafting. It does not change the standard: every figure in a published piece must trace to a real, named, timestamped source, and a human is accountable for what goes out. Content that cannot meet the sourcing bar is not published, regardless of how it was drafted.

Independence

CryptoGuide is a publisher, not an adviser, broker or fund. We do not hold reader funds and we do not offer personalised advice. See the disclaimer.
