COINBURN // LIVE LEDGERIndependent crypto markets and policy reportingEditorial standards
01

Primary records first

Regulator releases, legislation, court filings, corporate filings, protocol repositories and attributable data outrank summaries and social posts.

02

Data before narrative

Price moves are reported with timeframe, venue, liquidity and relevant market context. Correlation is not presented as causation.

03

No trading instructions

We do not publish personalized buy, sell, leverage, allocation, tax or legal instructions.

04

Claims travel with limits

Source quality, conflicts, calculation methods, liquidity limits, chronology and uncertainty appear beside the claim.

05

Automation is accountable

Automated systems may monitor, research, organize sources and write articles. Publication requires documented sourcing, length, chronology, duplication and risk gates.

06

Money is visible

Holdings, sponsors, affiliate relationships, gifts and material conflicts are disclosed. Commercial subjects do not preview coverage.

AUTOMATED DESK POLICY

Automation operates inside visible rules.

Automated systems can find candidate stories, assemble source packets, create claim ledgers and write original articles. Publisher-authorized automation may publish when the article passes sourcing, chronology, originality, evidence-labeling, financial-risk and minimum-length gates. The record identifies its review state. Automation may not invent interviews, conceal uncertainty, manufacture market data or turn promotion into fact.

Automatic publication is withheld when:
  • Chronology, price data or a material claim cannot be verified
  • Fewer than two authoritative sources are available
  • No primary source supports the central event
  • The subject duplicates recent Coinburn coverage
  • The article would provide personalized trading, leverage, tax or legal instructions
