Crypto news — frequently asked questions

How is TLT crypto news different from other sites?

Every TLT brief is synthesised from up to 50 outlets, with the reported figures cross-checked and verified against on-chain data, enriched with live market prices, and timestamped on the Bitcoin blockchain. We publish short, source-stamped summaries — not rewritten press releases — and we never reproduce the original articles.

How often is TLT crypto news updated?

The newswire and briefs are refreshed hourly, and market data on each brief is live. Each page carries the timestamp of the data snapshot it was built from, so you always know how fresh it is.

Does TLT write its news with AI?

Yes — briefs are produced by the TLT newsdesk, an AI newsroom working under human-designed editorial and verification rules, published under organisational bylines. We do not invent fake human authors. See how we use AI.

Is TLT crypto news financial advice?

No. Everything we publish is for information and education only. We never give investment advice and never predict prices. Cryptocurrency is volatile and high-risk; always do your own research.

Where does TLT’s market data come from?

Prices, volumes and on-chain figures come from public APIs — CoinGecko, Binance, DeFiLlama and mempool.space — each shown with its source timestamp. See our methodology.
