Cryptocurrencies are speculative. Their prices can fall sharply or go to zero, often without warning. Cryptolut publishes journalism, not investment advice. Do your own research, consider professional advice, and never put in money you cannot afford to lose.
What this site is and is not
Cryptolut is an independent newsroom covering the cryptocurrency and digital-asset industry. We publish reported news, analysis, explainers, and opinion pieces. We are not a broker, an exchange, a wallet provider, a custodian, an asset manager, or a registered financial adviser. We hold no client funds and we operate no investable products. Where you read price data, on-chain figures, or market commentary on cryptolut.com, treat it as journalism — useful context for informed citizens and participants — not as a basis for trading.
This Editorial Disclaimer should be read alongside our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Editorial Guidelines. Where they conflict, the relevant document for the topic in question prevails.
Not investment, legal, or tax advice
The content we publish is general journalism about the crypto industry. It is not an offer, invitation, recommendation, or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any digital asset, security, derivative, or other financial instrument. It is not legal advice. It is not tax advice. It is not regulated advice of any kind. We are not authorised by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, or any equivalent regulator anywhere in the world to provide personal financial advice, and we do not do so.
Phrases you may read in our work such as “investors watched”, “the market reacted”, or “analysts expect” are descriptions of events and the opinions of named third parties. They are not suggestions that you should act on them. If you are considering an investment based on something you read here, please speak to an appropriately qualified, licensed, and regulated adviser in your jurisdiction first. Cryptolut accepts no liability for decisions you make on the basis of our reporting.
Price data
Price data, market-capitalisation figures, trading volumes, and historical charts shown on Cryptolut are sourced from CoinGecko and similar third-party feeds. They are indicative only. They may be delayed by several minutes or longer; they may contain errors at the source we have no way of detecting; they may diverge meaningfully from the price you would actually be quoted on any specific exchange or in any specific market. Do not use them to make trading decisions. If you trade, use the live order book of the venue you are trading on.
Accuracy and verification
We work hard to be accurate. Facts are checked against primary sources where possible — exchange announcements, on-chain transactions, court filings, regulatory orders, audited reports — and articles are reviewed by an editor before publication. Crypto is a fast-moving field and we may occasionally get things wrong. When we do, we correct the article promptly and we flag the correction. See “Corrections” below.
AI-assisted content
Some headlines and summaries on Cryptolut are produced with the help of an automated pipeline that consumes RSS feeds from named publishers (CoinDesk, Decrypt, CoinTelegraph, and others) and rewrites them into shorter form. Where this is the case, the article is tagged Aggregated and the original publication is credited and linked. Every aggregated item is reviewed by a human editor before it goes live, and any factual claim that is added beyond the source material is the responsibility of the editor.
Where AI assists in summarisation, copy-tightening, or headline drafting, we treat it as a tool used by the human reporter, not as an independent author. AI output is not cited as a source. We do not publish machine-generated articles without human review. If we ever run an explicit experiment in AI-first drafting, the piece will say so prominently at the top.
Third-party sources
A portion of the headlines on Cryptolut are aggregated from other publications. Where we summarise a third-party story we link back to the original and rely on its reporting. We can confirm the source is reputable and that we have not distorted the summary; we cannot independently vouch for every detail of the underlying article. If you want the canonical version of a story, click through to the original publisher.
Forward-looking statements
Some articles discuss what might happen next — an upcoming protocol upgrade, an expected regulatory move, an analyst’s forecast, a project’s roadmap. These are forward-looking statements and they are inherently uncertain. They reflect the view of the speaker or analyst at the time of writing, and they can be overtaken by events within hours. Treat forward-looking material as context, not as a prediction you should act on. Words such as “may”, “could”, “expected”, “targets”, and “projected” should put you on notice that you are reading speculation, not a guarantee.
Conflicts of interest
Cryptolut writers and editors may hold cryptocurrencies. That is realistic — it is hard to cover this industry without ever having held any of it — but it creates a potential conflict that we manage openly.
- Writers must disclose, inside the article, any personal position with a value greater than US$1,000 (or the local-currency equivalent) in an asset they are writing about.
- Writers may not trade an asset while a story about it is in progress, in the 24 hours before publication, or in the 24 hours after.
- Writers may not accept gifts, tokens, airdrops, NFTs, or speaking fees from projects, exchanges, or protocols they cover. Travel and lodging to cover an event are accepted only where the funder is named and disclosed.
- Editors must approve any exception in writing, and the exception must be noted in the affected article.
Cryptolut itself does not hold treasury positions in any digital asset other than dollar-pegged stablecoins used to settle invoices to international contractors.
Jurisdictional limits
Cryptolut is published from the United States and the United Kingdom and is intended for adult readers in jurisdictions where the consumption of independent journalism about digital assets is lawful. Our coverage is not directed at residents of jurisdictions whose laws prohibit it, including jurisdictions subject to comprehensive U.S. or U.K. sanctions (such as, at the time of writing, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine). We make no representation that the site or its content is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction; if access is unlawful where you are, please do not access the site.
Affiliate, referral, and sponsorship disclosure
Cryptolut does not currently run affiliate links, referral bonuses, or paid partnerships with exchanges, wallet providers, or token issuers. We have chosen to forgo that revenue to keep editorial and commercial incentives cleanly separated. If this ever changes, the relationship will be disclosed clearly inside the relevant article and on this page, and a persistent “Affiliate disclosure” line will sit above any affected paragraph.
Where we accept advertising or sponsored content in the future, the advertorial will be labelled prominently and unambiguously and held to the standards in our Editorial Guidelines.
Corrections policy
When a published article contains a factual error we fix it and leave a visible correction note at the bottom of the piece describing what was changed and when. The article’s revision history is retained internally so that the change is auditable. Typos and small phrasing edits are made silently. Material changes — a wrong number, a wrong name, a misattributed quote, a misstated piece of law — are always disclosed.
If you believe you have spotted an error, email corrections@cryptolut.com with the article URL and a short explanation. We aim to respond within one working day.
No warranty, no liability for trading losses
The site is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cryptolut disclaims all implied warranties and is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your reliance on anything published here, including trading losses. The detailed limitation language sits in our Terms of Use.
