How Chainpress works
Chainpress monitors a broad network of digital-asset news sources and primary documents, groups reporting around the same underlying event, identifies corroborating coverage and primary-source confirmation, and presents the result in a concise intelligence format.
Coverage
Chainpress monitors 3 digital-asset publishers and a set of primary sources — regulatory filings, court records, official statements and company announcements. Reporting is read as one information set rather than as separate feeds.
Grouping by event
Several outlets covering the same news is the normal case. Chainpress groups those reports around the underlying event so it appears once, with the other accounts attached, instead of three times as three separate developments. Grouping is presentational: nothing is deleted, every report keeps its own link, and a story that becomes a member rather than a lead is still reachable from its desk and from search.
Grouping is deliberately conservative. Two reports are treated as the same event only when they share several distinctive terms — names, tickers, figures — within a short window. Common vocabulary does not count: a great many crypto headlines say “bitcoin”. A duplicate on the page is a smaller cost than a real story hidden behind an unrelated one, so the threshold sits on the cautious side.
Corroboration
Where a story shows a source count, that is the number of independent outlets whose reporting Chainpress has grouped around the event. It is a measure of how widely something was reported, not of whether it is true — but it is the best independent read available, and it is why the front page orders stories by how widely they were covered as well as by how recent they are.
Primary documents
Where an event rests on a filing, docket or official statement, that document is linked separately from the reporting about it. One is the record; the other is somebody’s account of the record. Stories with a primary document attached are marked as such.
What Chainpress publishes
- Briefings
- Written here from the reporting and documents credited at the foot of each one. Facts are credited to the outlet or record that established them; the wording is not taken from them. 50 have been published and all are kept permanently in the archive.
- Headlines
- A publisher’s own headline and summary, credited, with the article itself staying on their site. Chainpress stores the headline, the summary the publisher put in their feed, the byline and a link — never the article text. These cards name the domain they open before you click them.
- Images
- A credit line is not a licence, and news photography does not transfer between publishers. Stories written here carry generated abstract plates, labelled as illustrations rather than presented as photographs.
Market data
Prices come from CoinGecko, read at most once every two minutes and shared across the whole site. A reading is labelled Live for five minutes, Delayed after that, and Unavailable once it is three quarters of an hour old — at which point the figures are removed rather than shown under a warning.
There is deliberately no stored price snapshot to fall back on. A hand-written number in a column headed “Price” is an invented figure however the page is labelled.
The four indices are market-capitalisation measures rebased to 1000 on 2026-09-20. Their construction, exclusions and limits are set out in full on Indices.
Nothing on this site is investment advice, and no figure here is a substitute for a live quote from a venue you can trade on.
Getting it wrong
Corrections are appended to the story and the change is timestamped — an “Updated” stamp under a byline means the text changed after publication. Silent edits are not the practice here. If something is wrong, tell us.
