About us
Who we are
The Crypto Economy writes about crypto as something people spend, send and get paid in. Most of what we publish answers a practical question. What does a processor charge to settle a $1,000 sale in USDC? Is the exchange on your phone licensed where you live, or only registered somewhere else? Articles appear under the byline of The Crypto Economy editorial team.
What we cover
There are seven sections, and Payments and Stablecoins carry most of the weight: merchant checkouts, payouts to a bank account, the companies that issue coins like USDC or EURC, and where each coin may be offered. Exchanges looks at fees and withdrawals, and at the legal entity that actually holds each license, which is often not the one whose name is on the app.
Regulation follows MiCA in the European Union and the rules in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia, along with the Travel Rule and tax. Markets, Guides and Analysis round out the list. Analysis is where work built from raw data goes, such as counts taken from a regulator’s register on a stated date.
We also keep a crypto events calendar with a page for each host city, and a glossary of the terms our articles use.
Who it is for
We write for small businesses first, then for freelancers who invoice in crypto and for anyone moving money across a border. Traders will find little here. We don’t publish price predictions, and we don’t tell readers what to buy.
How we work
A number goes into an article only after we’ve opened the page it comes from. For a fee, that means the provider’s own pricing page; for a license, the regulator’s register rather than the company’s marketing. Our guide to accepting stablecoin payments is a fair example, since it compares six providers using each one’s own documentation as it stood in November 2026.
Pages like those change without notice, so the date matters. When we get something wrong, the fix is logged on the corrections page, and the editorial policy has the rest of the rules.
A note on this domain
From 2017 to 2018 this address belonged to a crypto conference website. The publication you’re reading began in 2026, and it neither organizes those conferences nor sells tickets for them.
