Cryptogsty — crypto news, fast — and worth trusting.

About Cryptogsty

Cryptogsty is a fast, independent crypto news and information site. Our job is narrow on purpose: report what is happening in Bitcoin, altcoins and the wider blockchain industry as it happens, explain the mechanics behind it in plain language, and show live market data without dressing any of it up as advice. We are not a broker, an exchange or an investment adviser, and we do not accept payment to promote a specific coin.

Every story on the site carries what we call a Wire Stamp — a visible publish date and an "updated" marker so you can see exactly when a report went out and whether it has changed since. We would rather flag a revision openly than quietly edit a live page. That habit runs through the rest of the site too: our About page sets out who we are, our Politique éditoriale explains how a story gets from a draft to a published page, and our Charte éthique spells out the values — honesty, independence, clarity, accountability — that sit underneath both.

Cryptogsty is free to read. We cover our costs through advertising, affiliate links and a clearly labeled sponsored/press-release channel, all of which are described later on this page and in full on our Advertise and Divulgation d'affiliation pages. None of it changes what we report or how we describe an asset — that line is explained in the sponsored section below, and we treat it as close to non-negotiable as an editorial rule gets.

We also try to be honest about our limits. We are a small, online-only publication, not a data vendor or a research desk with a Bloomberg terminal on every seat. Where a claim can't be sourced to something public and checkable, our house rule is to leave it out rather than fill the gap with something that merely sounds plausible — a rule that shows up throughout the rest of this page and, we hope, in every article we publish.

What We Cover

The newsroom is organized around a small number of beats rather than a single undifferentiated blog feed. Bitcoin News covers the asset that started the industry: network activity, ETF flow stories, custody and regulatory developments. Altcoin News and Ethereum News track the wider market of tokens that trade around Bitcoin, including DeFi News, NFTs & Web3 and RWA & Tokenization. Regulatory Updates follows the policy side — new rules, enforcement actions and legislation — and On-Chain Data covers what the ledgers themselves show: network upgrades, hashrate and activity that doesn't always make headline news but shapes it.

Two sections sit apart from the daily wire. Market Analyse steps back from single headlines to look at trends, sentiment and how different parts of the market are moving relative to each other. And our Apprendre section is evergreen reference material — a glossary and a set of guides — built to give you the vocabulary to read everything else critically rather than to chase the news cycle.

For live numbers behind any story, we send you to a live page instead of freezing a price inside an article: our market data hub, individual coin pages, the Plus fortes hausses and Plus fortes baisses lists, and the Crypto Fear and Greed Index. A number printed in a news story is accurate the moment it is filed and stale within minutes; a number on a live page updates on a regular cycle, which is why we link rather than quote wherever we can.

We deliberately keep the beat list short rather than chasing every trending keyword. A tight set of categories is easier to browse, easier for us to hold to a consistent standard, and easier for you to skim on a phone between meetings — which, realistically, is how most crypto news actually gets read.

Bitcoin & BTC News

Bitcoin gets its own lane because it behaves differently from the rest of the market it nominally sits inside — it moves markets, sets sentiment for altcoins, and attracts a different mix of institutional and regulatory attention than a typical token. Our Bitcoin News beat covers network upgrades, mining and hashrate trends, custody developments, ETF flow stories and the regulatory news that follows the asset around the world. Slower, thesis-driven reads — the kind that ask what a trend means rather than just report that it happened — run through Market Analyse instead.

We do not bake a live BTC price into news copy or into this page, because it would be stale before you finished the sentence. For current price, market capitalization and supply figures, the live Bitcoin page is the source we point readers to, and it is the same page our own writers check before filing a story. If you are newer to how Bitcoin actually works under the hood — proof of work, block confirmation, why a "halving" matters — our blockchain basics guide and glossary are a reasonable place to start before you dive into the news.

A large share of Bitcoin's recent news cycle has revolved around institutional access — ETF products, custody arrangements, and how traditional finance interacts with the asset. We report those stories as they're confirmed by primary sources, and we treat inflow or outflow figures the same way we treat price: as something to link to a live or dated source rather than restate as a permanent fact, since flow data changes daily and a number from last week's story is not this week's reality.

Bitcoin coverage on Cryptogsty is reporting and education, not a signal. We do not publish price targets for BTC, and a bullish-sounding headline about adoption or a bearish-sounding one about regulation is reported the same way: sourced, dated, and separated from our opinion. Pas un conseil financier — Bitcoin is volatile, and nothing here should be read as a reason to buy or sell it.

Cryptomonnaie & Altcoins

Beyond Bitcoin sits a much larger and more varied market: thousands of tokens with different purposes, different levels of decentralization, and wildly different levels of scrutiny. Our Altcoin News and Ethereum News beats carry the day-to-day reporting, with DeFi News, NFTs & Web3 and RWA & Tokenization covering the more specialized corners of the market — decentralized finance protocols, digital collectibles and the tokenization of real-world assets like treasuries, respectively.

We track individual assets on live coin pages — price, market cap, circulating supply and 24-hour volume — sourced from CryptoLore's public market data rather than generated by us, and we say so plainly on our Méthodologie page. Every coin on the site gets a data page; the largest and most-searched assets also get deeper explainer coverage, like our guide on how Ethereum's smart contracts actually work. If you want to see two assets side by side without opening ten tabs, the Compare Cryptomonnaies tool is built for exactly that.

DeFi and tokenization coverage gets particular care because the claims involved are usually more technical and easier to overstate than a simple price story: a protocol's total value locked, a yield figure, or a claim about how "decentralized" something actually is. Where those numbers are publicly verifiable on-chain, we say where they come from; where a project's own marketing is the only source, we say that too, rather than let a project's claim about itself read as our own reporting.

A word on what we deliberately don't do here: we don't rank altcoins by "best buy," we don't run sponsored coin reviews inside our editorial coverage, and if a project's tokenomics or supply schedule isn't publicly verifiable, our house style is to say that plainly rather than fill the gap with a plausible-sounding number. This section is informational, not investment advice — altcoins are typically more volatile and less liquid than Bitcoin, and losses are possible.

Blockchain

Underneath every coin and token is the same basic question: how does a distributed ledger actually reach agreement on what happened, and why does that matter? Our blockchain coverage is the technology layer of the site, kept deliberately separate from price talk. The starting point is our plain-English "what is a blockchain" guide, with follow-ups on proof of work versus proof of stake and Layer 1 versus Layer 2 scaling for readers who want to go a level deeper into how networks process and settle transactions.

News on protocol upgrades, forks, and network activity that isn't tied to a single coin's price runs through On-Chain Data. Conditions you run into along the way — consensus mechanism, finality, gas, rollup — are defined individually in the glossary, so you can look one up mid-article instead of losing the thread of the story.

We put real weight on this section because most crypto headlines are really blockchain headlines wearing a price story's clothes: a network outage, a validator issue, a bridge exploit or a scaling upgrade is a technology event first, and its market reaction is a downstream effect. Readers who understand the plumbing tend to read the price-driven headlines more skeptically, which is exactly the outcome we're aiming for.

Understanding how a blockchain works is a genuinely different question from whether any specific token built on it is worth owning, and we try hard not to blur the two. A clear explanation of how a consensus mechanism functions is not, and should never read as, a case for or against the token that uses it. For current pricing on assets built on these networks, see the relevant coin page rather than anything implied in an explainer.

Litecoin

Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies still in active development — originally forked from Bitcoin's codebase with faster block times and a different mining algorithm, and still running today. It's a useful case study precisely because it has a long track record rather than a hype cycle: multiple market cycles, real mining history, and a comparatively simple design next to newer, more complex chains.

We cover Litecoin's network development, mining activity and related news mainly through Altcoin News, alongside the wider altcoin market, with every story carrying a Wire Stamp so you can see when it was published or last revised. For current price, market cap and circulating supply, the live Litecoin page is the place to look — we deliberately don't quote a figure here, since a proof-of-work asset like LTC can move meaningfully within a single session. If you want the mechanics behind how a chain like Litecoin actually processes and confirms transactions, our proof of work versus proof of stake guide is a natural next read.

We give Litecoin its own section rather than folding it silently into "altcoins" because it's a genuinely distinct case: a direct technical relative of Bitcoin that has stayed live and mined through more than a decade of market cycles without reinventing itself into something unrecognizable. That makes it a useful reference point when a newer chain claims to have solved a problem Litecoin's simpler design never really had.

This is informational coverage, not financial advice. Litecoin, like any crypto asset, can lose value quickly and without warning — verify current data on the live page and do your own research before acting on anything you read here.

Market Analyse

Market Analyse is where we step back from a single headline to look at the shape of a trend: sector rotation, volume patterns, how sentiment is shifting, and how different parts of the crypto market are moving relative to one another. It's a slower, more deliberate section than the daily wire, and it's written to a different standard: less "what happened," more "what does this pattern actually tell you, and what does it not tell you."

Consistent with how we handle the rest of the site, we don't hardcode prices or targets into an analysis piece. Where a figure matters to the argument, we link to a live source instead — the Crypto Fear and Greed Index for sentiment, Plus fortes hausses and Plus fortes baisses for 24-hour movement, or the relevant coin page for a specific asset — so the numbers stay current instead of aging out the day the piece is published. Our Méthodologie page explains exactly how each of those figures is calculated and how often it refreshes.

Sentiment gauges like the Fear and Greed Index get special handling in this section, because they're the piece of market data most likely to be misread as a signal. A reading of "extreme fear" or "extreme greed" describes crowd psychology at a moment in time; it is not a countdown to a reversal, and we say so explicitly whenever we cite it, rather than letting a chart do the talking for us.

We deliberately write analysis to present evidence on multiple sides of a trend rather than as a directional call. We are not going to tell you a market is about to break out or break down, and we do not publish price predictions or price targets of any kind — we will tell you what the available data shows, name the parts that are uncertain, and let you weigh it. This section is analysis and commentary, not financial advice. Marchés can and do move against any pattern described here without warning, and past behavior does not predict future results.

How We Handle Sponsored & Press Releases

Cryptogsty is openly commercial in one specific, contained way: we accept clearly labeled advertising, affiliate links and third-party press releases to help keep the site free. What we do not do is let any of that touch our reporting. Here is exactly how the separation works.

Labeling. Every paid or third-party placement — a display ad, a sponsored post, a submitted press release — is clearly and visibly marked as such, so a reader can tell at a glance what is independent editorial and what is paid. These posts are visually and structurally distinct from our news and analysis, they carry different structured data than a staff-reported story, and outbound links inside them are marked rel="sponsored".

Exclusion from the newsroom feed. Sponsored and press-release content is kept out of our news sitemap and out of the reported-news stream. Publishing a release is not an endorsement of the project, its team or its token, and it is not fact-checked or vetted the way our own reporting is — claims made by the submitting party belong to that party, not to Cryptogsty.

No coverage for sale. No advertiser or submitter can buy a favorable mention, a ranking position, altered wording, or any influence over our market data. If a submission doesn't meet our accuracy bar — if it reads like a price prediction, a guarantee, or something we can't stand behind — we ask for changes or decline it. There is no published rate card and no self-serve form; enquiries go through our Contact page or editorial@coingsty.com, which lets us be direct about what is and isn't possible within our standards before anything is agreed.

Why accept sponsored content at all? Because running an independent newsroom costs money, and we'd rather be transparent about a labeled revenue source than pretend the site runs on goodwill alone. The alternative — letting an advertiser quietly shape coverage — is the actual conflict of interest; a clearly marked, separated sponsored post is not.

The principles behind all of this — and the fuller detail on affiliate relationships specifically — live on our Advertise, Politique éditoriale, Charte éthique and Divulgation d'affiliation pages. Sponsored and press-release content may describe a project favorably because the project paid for the placement to say so — treat it with at least the scrutiny you'd apply to any paid promotion, and remember that none of it is financial advice.

Apprendre Crypto

Our Apprendre section is the reference layer underneath everything else on the site: a plain-language glossary for quick, precise definitions, and a set of longer guides for when a term needs more room than a paragraph. Start with a glossary entry — things like DEX, FOMO, HODL, slippage and consensus mechanism — if you just need to know what a word means before you keep reading a news story. Move into a full guide when you want the mechanics: what a blockchain actually is, how proof of work compares to proof of stake, what DeFi means in practice, how self-custody and wallets work, what a stablecoin actually is, or how to read market cap, volume and supply without being misled by any one of them in isolation.

If you are brand new to the market as a whole, how to read a crypto market and understanding crypto risk and volatility are a reasonable place to start before you read anything price-related on the rest of the site.

Apprendre is also where our news and analysis coverage points when a story assumes background knowledge we can't re-explain in every article. A story about a Layer 2 rollup links to the Layer 2 explainer instead of re-defining the term inline every time, which keeps news copy tight while still giving anyone who needs it a fast way to catch up.

Nothing in this section tracks a live price or argues for buying or avoiding any particular asset, and that's deliberate. Apprendre exists to give you the vocabulary and mechanics to read our news and analysis critically — not to steer you toward a decision. Education is not financial advice: understanding how something works is a separate question from whether it belongs in your portfolio.

Meet the Team

Cryptogsty is written by a small newsroom organised around four beats. Marisol Verhoeven covers stablecoins, tokenised real-world assets and cross-border payments. Tobias Rennick covers Bitcoin and the macro and rates backdrop around it. Devraj Menon covers Ethereum, layer-2 networks and on-chain data. Callum Ashby covers exchanges, liquidity and market structure. Each author page sets out that writer’s beat and what they focus on, so you can see who is accountable for a given story and judge it on that basis.

Data pages, market tables and desk copy carry the collective Cryptogsty Équipe éditoriale byline rather than an individual name, because they are produced and refreshed as a system rather than written as a story. Where you see a named byline, that beat owner is responsible for the reporting on the page.

Our process is AI-assisted and human-reviewed. Automation helps source data and produce a consistent first draft; a human editor checks every page against our Politique éditoriale before it goes live, verifying claims, removing anything that reads like advice, and confirming that data is labeled and dated honestly. We are transparent that automation plays a role in how this site is produced rather than presenting it as purely hand-written.

The remit is narrow by design: cover the beats above, keep the data honest, and stay inside what can be sourced and explained responsibly. We do not publish individual investment recommendations or price forecasts under any byline. When something falls short, it gets logged openly on our Politique de corrections page rather than quietly fixed.

You can hold us to what we publish about ourselves: that we name our data sources, label data as informational rather than real-time, keep facts separate from opinion, avoid price predictions, and correct mistakes in the open. If a page ever reads like a paid promotion dressed up as neutral reporting, or like a forecast dressed up as a fact, that is exactly the kind of thing we want reported — reach us via Contact or editorial@coingsty.com.
