Crypto news, reported straight
Simple Crypto Signal's crypto news covers the stories that actually move the market — price action, protocol upgrades, regulation, security incidents and the flows behind them — reported plainly and fact-checked by a second editor before it goes live. No hype, no paid coverage, no shilling. If you want to understand what happened and why it matters, this is the feed to follow.
What crypto news do we cover?
Our newsroom tracks Bitcoin and Ethereum, Layer-2 networks and scaling, DeFi and stablecoins, real-world assets (RWA), mining, NFTs and the regulation shaping all of it. Every story links back to the data — check live prices and market caps on our market pages, and go deeper with our beginner-friendly guides when a topic needs background.
How we report the news
We lead with the facts, attribute our sources, and separate reporting from opinion. Market data is sourced from CoinGecko; the analysis and context are our own. Money-topic stories are reviewed by a second member of the desk before publication, and every article carries its author, publish date and — where it applies — the date it was last updated.
Independent and free
All of our news is free to read and you don't need an account. We're funded by clearly-labelled advertising and reader support — never by the projects, exchanges or tokens we cover. When a service is worth comparing, we point you to our independent, methodology-based ratings rather than an affiliate pitch.
Nothing here is financial advice. Cryptocurrency is volatile and high-risk — always do your own research before acting on any story.
