Quick answer: Getting featured on The Daily Coins means earning a place in our independent coverage on merit — it cannot be bought. This page explains how our newsroom finds and picks stories, how to get your crypto project on our radar honestly, and the clearly labelled paid alternative if you need a guaranteed, dated placement instead.
Key takeaways
- Earned, not bought: features are chosen by our team on newsworthiness.
- What helps: real news, genuine traction and a clear, verifiable story.
- How to reach us: a concise, factual pitch via our contact page.
- Paid alternative: for certainty, use labelled sponsored content.
- No guarantees, no advice: we promise a fair look, not coverage, and nothing we publish is financial advice.
What “featured” means here
An editorial feature is coverage our newsroom judged worth readers’ time — an explainer, an analysis, a news story or an interview. Because that judgement is independent, it carries weight no advertisement can. It also means we cannot promise it: the same bar applies to every project, well-funded or not.
What makes a project newsworthy
- Real news — a launch, a meaningful milestone or a genuine first.
- Verifiable traction rather than vanity metrics.
- A technical or market angle readers will find useful.
- Named, credible people behind the work.
- Timeliness — a reason it matters now.
How to get on our radar
- Lead with the story, not the ask — tell us what is genuinely new.
- Give the facts: what, who, when and why it matters, with links to verify.
- Keep it short and send it via our contact page.
- Be reachable for our team’s follow-up questions.
What improves your chances
- Data or documentation we can check independently.
- An explanation a non-insider can follow.
- A named spokesperson available for comment.
- Honesty about risks and limits — it builds credibility.
What will not work
- Offering to pay for coverage — it is not for sale.
- Guaranteed-return or price-prediction angles — we decline them.
- Vague announcements with no verifiable substance.
- Pressure, mass-blasted pitches or hidden conflicts.
The paid, labelled alternative
Sometimes you need a placement on a set date — for a launch or an investor update. Then editorial is the wrong tool and sponsored content is the right one: it guarantees publication, gives you control of the message, and is clearly labelled as sponsored. A press release is another labelled option for straightforward news.
Why we keep the line clear
The value of a feature comes entirely from its independence. If coverage could be bought, readers would stop trusting it and it would be worth nothing. So we keep earned and paid strictly separate, label all commercial work, and follow the FTC endorsement guidelines. There is more on our how we make money and advertising disclosure pages.
About The Daily Coins
The Daily Coins is an independent daily crypto news publication. We follow the stories that move the market each day — launches, listings, regulation, security and the people building Web3 — with a named team and clear standards. Find out who we are on our about page, and reach the commercial team through our contact page or at [email protected]. Anything paid or supplied by a company is labelled in keeping with the FTC endorsement guidelines, kept apart from our newsroom, and is never financial advice.

Yes, if the pitch is factual, discloses the relationship and leads with a genuine story.
