The leading cryptocurrency news outlet, CoinDesk, has recently updated its privacy policy, terms of use, cookies, and personal information protection policies. CoinDesk is known for its high journalistic standards and adherence to strict editorial policies. In November 2023, the media outlet was acquired by Bullish group, which is majority owned by Block.one and has interests in various blockchain and digital asset businesses, as well as significant holdings of digital assets.
As part of the acquisition, CoinDesk will operate as an independent subsidiary with an editorial committee being formed to ensure journalistic integrity. This committee will be chaired by a former editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal. The acquisition by Bullish group, owner of Bullish, a regulated, institutional digital assets exchange, signifies a new chapter for CoinDesk as it becomes part of a larger ecosystem with a focus on blockchain and digital asset businesses. The update to its policies and the acquisition by Bullish group position CoinDesk for continued growth and influence in the cryptocurrency and digital asset industry.
