What BeInCrypto does

BeInCrypto, legally BeInNews Academy, is a London-headquartered cryptocurrency news and media platform founded in 2018. The company operates a content-first digital platform at beincrypto.com covering cryptocurrency markets, regulation, DeFi, institutional adoption, and AI & technology, serving a global audience of retail traders, institutional crypto participants, and crypto learners. Core products include a real-time news platform, price tracking across 80+ cryptocurrencies (with data integrated from CoinGecko), cryptocurrency exchange rankings, a multi-currency converter tool, an email newsletter suite (Daily Crypto Insights, Crypto Leaders, Breaking News, Bonus Hunter), educational content via a Learn section, and curated Top Picks for crypto products. The platform extends beyond news into industry positioning through the BeInCrypto 100 and BeInCrypto Institutional 100 awards programs and an Experts Network organized into four specialized councils (Legal & Regulatory, Market Intelligence, Future Tech & AI, Institutional Strategy & On-chain Finance).

The business model is primarily advertising, sponsorship, and affiliate-based, monetizing a free-to-consumer platform through display ads, sponsored content, affiliate commissions from cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance, Bitrue, BTCC and others), and event partnerships. Distribution spans owned channels (website, YouTube, Telegram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google News) and is reinforced by SEO-driven organic discovery and newsletter subscriptions. The company participates in industry events including Consensus 2026 and Proof of Talk 2026, and serves as media partner for events like the Quantum Summit at ETHDenver 2026. BeInCrypto is privately held with a 251-500 employee base and only a single $1M seed funding round disclosed from 2018, implying the business has been sustained through operating cash flow.
