CoinDesk Background
CoinDesk has established itself as a leading source of cryptocurrency news and information. This award-winning outlet holds itself to high journalistic standards and ethical policies. In November 2023, CoinDesk was acquired by Bullish, a regulated digital asset exchange. While CoinDesk operates independently, Bullish is majority-owned by Block.one, giving its parent companies interests across blockchain businesses and significant crypto holdings.
Updated Policies
Do Not Sell My Personal Information. CoinDesk has updated its privacy policy, terms of use, cookies policy, and “do not sell my personal information” policy. Readers should familiarize themselves with the changes.
Editorial Independence
To safeguard its editorial integrity, CoinDesk is forming an editorial committee chaired by a former Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief. This committee will support objective, independent journalism.
The Path to a Bitcoin ETF
The SEC is reviewing several Bitcoin ETF applications and appears likely to approve one within a couple weeks. This would allow mainstream investors to gain Bitcoin exposure without directly holding the asset. Many analysts expect ETF approval to spur significant new Bitcoin investment.
Conclusion
With CoinDesk’s strong track record in crypto journalism and a Bitcoin ETF seemingly imminent, the stage is set for an influx of mainstream capital. If approved as expected, the ETF could prove a catalyst for the next Bitcoin bull run.
