Plain English
Decrypt is a crypto news publication founded in 2018 by Tim Copeland and Jonathan Wu. Editorial focus on accessibility — articles aimed at general readers rather than crypto-native audiences. Owned by Decrypt Media Inc. Acquired Crypto Briefing (formerly competitor) in 2024.
How it actually works
Mix of news, explainers, and editorial. Strong on consumer-facing crypto topics (NFTs, Bitcoin ETFs, regulatory developments). Decrypt Studios produces video and podcast content. Less institutionally-focused than The Block or CoinDesk.
What it means for you
For experienced users wanting crypto news framed for general readers (useful for sharing with family or non-crypto colleagues), Decrypt is the most-accessible major outlet. For pure investment research, Messari, The Block, or research-specific platforms are more useful.
