Standards and corrections

What you can hold us to.

Sourcing

Every story links its sources. We weight official and primary sources (regulators, exchange and protocol notices) most heavily. A claim carried by a single low-credibility source is marked as unverified or is not published.

Verification

Before a story is drafted, an independent verification pass checks each claim against its cited source. Stories that cannot be verified are either marked clearly for the reader or held back. We would rather be slow than wrong.

The gate

A story publishes only when an independent verification pass confirms it against its sources: VERIFIED runs, flagged-for-review waits for the human editor-in-chief, rejected never runs. The human editor oversees the desk, can overrule any machine call in either direction, and owns every opinion or analysis in the byline. The AI never writes a "take" in a human's voice.

Not financial advice

We report events and explain what they may mean. We never advise buying or selling any asset. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so on the story. If you spot an error, tell us and we will check it against the source. A correction is a feature of an honest desk, not a failure.

AI disclosure

Stories on this site are assembled with AI assistance and fact-checked by a separate, independent AI verification pass; only stories that pass publish, under a human editor-in-chief who oversees the desk, reviews anything flagged, and can overrule any call. Takes and corrections are always human. We think transparency about that process is part of being trustworthy, which is why this page exists.

Not financial advice. Crypto Cronkite reports events and explains what they may mean. It never tells you to buy or sell anything. Do your own research.
