The following is an announcement by Nate Whitehill, CEO and co-founder of CryptoSlate.
I’m thrilled to announce that Liam “Akiba” Wright has been appointed as CryptoSlate’s new Editor in Chief. This marks a significant step forward in our mission to deliver high-impact, comprehensive news that bridges the worlds of crypto, finance, and technology. Liam’s dedication to investigative reporting and his ability to bring clarity to complex issues have already set new standards at CryptoSlate.
Since joining our team, Liam has reported on pivotal events that have shaped the crypto landscape. From his extensive coverage of the Luna collapse in 2022, including exclusive insights into validator activities, to his sharp analysis during the spot Bitcoin ETF launch in early 2024, Liam’s work has not only positioned CryptoSlate ahead of the curve but has also earned industry-wide recognition.
His reporting on Coinbase’s custody agreement with BlackRock and deep dives into Polymarket trading data have been consistently impactful, raising the bar for excellence in our newsroom.
Under Liam’s leadership, CryptoSlate will continue to evolve into a dynamic media company that empowers our audience to make informed financial and technological decisions. As part of this transformation, we’re excited to introduce advanced adaptive analytics and enhanced visual storytelling designed to help users navigate the intersections of traditional finance and crypto.
By uniting these financial spheres, we aim to provide a cohesive and accessible view of the global financial landscape.
Broadening our coverage: TradFi meets crypto
Our initiatives for the future include broadening our content to cover traditional finance and macroeconomic trends, highlighting how these factors intersect with the crypto ecosystem. We’ll be incorporating emerging technologies to deliver a personalized experience and reduce information overload, including interactive visualizations like dynamic charts and dashboards that make market data exploration intuitive and engaging.
Education remains a top priority at CryptoSlate. To further this mission, we’ll be developing learning modules, interactive analytics tools, and podcasts with experts in finance and emerging tech. These resources will help boost financial literacy and foster a vibrant community where users can discuss, share insights, and stay informed about developments in the space.
Breaking down barriers and delivering clarity
About his new role, Liam said,
“I’ve been involved in Bitcoin and crypto in some form since 2014, and over the past decade, the importance of decentralization of finance has only become clearer to me.
As Editor in Chief, I am committed to ensuring transparent, accurate, and honest coverage of the most important aspects of our industry, with the goal of ensuring improved global financial opportunities and, ultimately, greater equity.”
At CryptoSlate, we believe in breaking down barriers caused by information asymmetry in finance. Our goal is to cut through the noise and highlight meaningful trends that matter. By focusing on both seasoned investors and newcomers alike, we strive to ensure everyone has the tools they need to succeed. We are committed to staying at the forefront of technological advancements to enhance the user experience and maximize value for our audience.
With Liam at the helm of our newsroom, we’re confident that CryptoSlate will set new standards in financial and tech media. His vision for inclusivity and clarity will guide us as we transform fragmented data into accessible, easy-to-understand content, leveling the financial playing field for all.
CryptoSlate is on an exciting journey to become the definitive resource for those navigating the complex world of finance and technology. With Liam Wright as our Editor in Chief, we’re committed to building a platform defined by empowerment, accessibility, and innovation.
