Plain English

CoinDesk is one of the oldest crypto news publications, founded in 2013. Was owned by Digital Currency Group (DCG) until selling to Bullish Group in 2023. The 2022 CoinDesk article exposing FTX/Alameda balance sheet issues was the journalistic catalyst for FTX’s collapse — a defining moment in crypto journalism.

How it actually works

Daily news coverage, original reporting, and the Consensus annual conference (one of crypto’s largest events). The CoinDesk Indices business (acquired by CoinDesk Indices, then separated) provides industry-standard crypto benchmark indices used by ETFs and institutional products.

What it means for you

CoinDesk is the establishment crypto news brand. For HNW users, the institutional-focused coverage, Consensus conference networking, and benchmark indices make it relevant beyond just news consumption. The FTX coverage demonstrated genuine investigative capability.
