What Coinpaper.com does

Coinpaper.com is a cryptocurrency news and media publication platform founded in 2021 and operating as a privately held company with 11–50 employees. The site publishes news articles, longer-form stories, educational content, price predictions, and curated collections covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, DeFi, NFTs, legal developments, and broader blockchain topics, with active content production documented through July 2026. The platform serves retail and professional cryptocurrency traders, crypto investors, and blockchain enthusiasts seeking consolidated access to crypto news, technical price analysis, and beginner-friendly educational material.

The core technology is a content publication platform that integrates the CoinCodex API for real-time cryptocurrency price data, powering both the website's price content and a Chrome Web Store extension ("Cryptocurrency Prices by Coinpaper") for browser-based price tracking. Distribution occurs through the primary web property, Google News syndication, an RSS feed, and an email newsletter. The content footprint exceeds 1,003 indexed pages spanning News, Stories, Learn, Misc, and Collections categories.

The business model is affiliate-driven: Coinpaper earns referral commissions through partnerships with crypto exchanges (Kraken), hardware wallet providers (Ledger), and crypto gambling platforms (Jackbit, Stake, BC.Game, Drake Casino, Vave), with a secondary revenue stream from a paid press-release publishing service (coinpaper.com/pr) supplied in part by Chainwire. There is no subscription or paid-content product; the platform is free to readers. Leadership consists of co-founder and co-CEO Daniel Bihun, with no broader management team disclosed.
