Background

The Crypto Times describes itself as a global crypto news and research platform. Public profiles on Crunchbase, Tracxn and Inc42 say it is bootstrapped and based in Gujarat, India, and credit Hardik Katariya as founder and CEO. Sources disagree on when it was founded, giving years between 2016 and 2021. It covers Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, regulation and market news, and it also publishes research and educational content. Like many crypto trade sites, it probably depends on advertising and sponsored or partner content, which can create conflicts of interest with the firms it covers. Its politics come mainly from its industry focus: it tends to welcome pro-crypto policy and to treat U.S. policy mostly as it affects markets and regulation. I did not review its recent political coverage in depth, and I could not load its About page, so some details here are unconfirmed.
