Crypto Briefing

U.S. crypto-industry trade press (pro-crypto)

Owned byPrivately held. Crypto Briefing calls itself an independent crypto media organization, and I could not confirm the current owner from public sources. It has long been associated with the crypto investment firm Pantera Capital, but that link was not verified here. Readers should check the site's own disclosures.
FundingLikely advertising, sponsored and partner content, and newsletter or research products, as with most crypto trade outlets. I could not verify the details. It also reports often on Pantera Capital and its portfolio companies, so industry investor ties are possible.

Background

Crypto Briefing was founded in 2017, during the first big crypto boom, and publishes news, interviews, price and market coverage, and explainers. It has been linked to Pantera Capital, a San Francisco digital-asset investment firm founded in 2003 by Dan Morehead, but my searches could not confirm whether Pantera owns or controls it. The site frequently covers Pantera's funds, forecasts and deals, so readers should weigh that possible conflict of interest. Like other crypto trade outlets, it focuses on markets, token projects, venture funding and regulation, and it rarely takes a skeptical or investigative stance toward the industry itself. Its framing of policy is shaped by industry interests: it generally welcomes deregulation, dropped SEC enforcement cases, stablecoin legislation and the administration's stated aim of making the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. It has not been a prominent subject of major controversies in the sources I found, though its commercial ties are not fully documented. Its political stance is better described as pro-crypto than as left or right. Its posture toward the administration since January 2025 is mostly supportive on crypto policy, with little coverage of criticism such as the ethics disputes holding up the Clarity Act.
