Bloomingbit
South Korean financial/crypto trade press
Background
Bloomingbit was founded in Seoul in May 2021 by Hankyung Media Group as a dedicated digital-asset (cryptocurrency) news and social-investment-information platform, aiming to counter fragmented and unreliable crypto information for retail investors. It draws on blockchain-beat reporters from the Korea Economic Daily and has since expanded into an app offering real-time news, market data, AI-generated reports, and community features for crypto investors. The company has grown to roughly 30 employees and has pushed further into institutional services, including unveiling a digital-asset platform at industry events in 2026. Its coverage centers on cryptocurrency markets, exchange and regulatory news (including U.S. agencies like the CFTC and SEC), and industry figures, with U.S. political coverage generally confined to how policy affects crypto markets rather than broader partisan commentary. As a unit of a mainstream South Korean media conglomerate rather than an independent or ideologically driven outlet, it presents itself as a market-information service, and its reporting on the Trump administration tends to track crypto-friendly policy moves neutrally rather than advocate for or against the administration.
