The Crypto Basic

What The Crypto Basic does

The Crypto Basic is a privately held cryptocurrency news and market intelligence platform serving retail and professional crypto investors and traders. Founded in 2019, the company operates a WordPress-based news portal at thecryptobasic.com covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, Shiba Inu, Solana, Dogecoin, VeChain, and broader altcoin markets with real-time articles, price predictions, and technical analysis. Beyond news publishing, the site operates content verticals on trading bot reviews (covering Cryptohopper, 3Commas, Bitsgap, Haasonline, and others) and educational guides on exchanges, mining, and trading strategies.

The company has extended beyond pure publishing into a companion web application at app.thecryptobasic.com offering portfolio tracking (with wallet and exchange connectivity), whale alerts, a crypto screener, altcoin season index, fear and greed index, market dominance tracking, top gainers and losers, a crypto converter, coin comparison tools, an events calendar, and a sub-product called TCB Chat Watch for monitoring market discussions. The technology stack is a standard content management plus web app architecture without disclosed APIs, SDKs, or proprietary AI components.

The business model is predominantly free, ad-supported, and affiliate-driven content distribution with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Revenue is generated through banner advertising, sponsored content, affiliate links (likely to exchanges and trading bots reviewed on the site), and a paid press release submission service for crypto projects. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no institutional investors identified in available data. Its primary customers are end-user crypto readers and, on the monetization side, crypto project advertisers and PR submitters.
