FAQ
Briefing coverage — frequently asked questions
How often is Briefing coverage updated?
Our Briefing beat publishes daily, Monday through Friday. Breaking news goes out within hours of confirmation. The daily briefing newsletter recaps the most important Briefing stories every morning by 7am ET.
Who writes the Briefing articles?
The Daily Coins has an 8-person editorial team with specialized beats. Briefing articles are typically written by the beat reporter, then edited by our editor-in-chief. Every byline links to a full author profile with verified credentials and disclosed crypto holdings. Meet the team →
Do you publish opinion pieces or just news?
Both. Editorial articles fall into three buckets — news (factual, sourced), analysis (interprets data and trends), and opinion (clearly labeled as such). We never let sponsorship influence which stories run, and every author discloses crypto holdings on their byline.
Can I pitch a Briefing story?
Yes — we publish a handful of outside contributor pieces per month, usually deep-dive analyses or original on-chain research. Email [email protected] with a 200-word pitch + writing samples. More on contact →
