Coinaute

What Coinaute does

Coinaute SAS is a Paris-based, privately-held Web3 media and services company founded in 2023. It operates a multilingual (21-language) cryptocurrency, blockchain, NFT, and Web3 news platform at coinaute.com that publishes daily news, market analysis, educational guides, broker comparisons, and crypto glossary content targeted at retail crypto investors, with a reported audience of 200,000 monthly visits, 100,000 social media followers, and 50,000 newsletter subscribers, of whom 69% have already invested in crypto or other financial products.

The company monetizes through three distinct revenue streams. The first is advertising and sponsored content on its media property, sold to crypto exchanges and Web3 brands (Bybit, Binance, Coinbase, Bitpanda, Bitvavo, BingX, Ledger, Société Générale are named partners). The second is a wholly-owned Web3 services subsidiary, Coinaute Agency (agency.coinaute.com), which delivers blockchain development, smart contract integration, SEO, UI/UX, community building, NFT and ICO marketing, and customized Web3 training to business clients on a project or retainer basis. The third is affiliate/referral commission revenue earned when users sign up with crypto exchanges promoted through Coinaute's broker-comparison rankings. Distribution is multi-channel, spanning the coinaute.com website, native iOS and Android applications, localized sites in 21 languages, a 50,000-subscriber newsletter, and active social accounts on LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Instagram, and Google News. An ancillary e-commerce store at eshop.coinaute.com sells crypto-themed merchandise.

Coinaute is co-founded by Farid Bouyengoulene (Director of Editorial & Publication), Sonia (Co-founder), and Laetisia (Editor-in-Chief). The company has 1-10 employees, is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and is incorporated as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS) in France with a registered Paris address. The business model is structurally exposed to the cyclicality of crypto-exchange advertising budgets, which is the dominant revenue concentration risk.
