Crypto and disinformation: how to stay safe

Crypto and disinformation: 80% of online content is misleading

In the cryptocurrency sector, transparent information is increasingly rare. Many contents fail to disclose sponsors or affiliations, misleading readers and investors.
In the past 12 months, more than 10,000 misleading sponsored crypto contents were blocked. In this scenario, choosing reliable sources is crucial.

Data that raise concerns on crypto and disinformation

INFORMS reports that on X (formerly Twitter), more than 95% of sponsored posts are not declared.

Amid this opaque landscape, Italy stands out with a different approach. The news outlet Criptovaluta.it, directed by Alessio Ippolito, refuses sponsored content, paid reviews, and hidden affiliations.

Its editorial line is based on one clear principle: educate, don’t sell.
Technical analyses and insights are designed for everyone, without sensationalism or promises of quick profits.

The growing audience shows a strong preference for serious, verifiable content. Criptovaluta.it has thus become a reference point for those who want to understand before investing.

A realistic approach that rejects the spectacle-driven narrative often found in the crypto sector.
