From Independent to Acquired: CoinDesk Updates Privacy Policy While Maintaining Journalistic Integrity

CoinDesk is a well-known media outlet that covers the cryptocurrency industry with accuracy and impartiality. The journalists at CoinDesk adhere to strict editorial guidelines to ensure the quality of their reporting. In November 2023, CoinDesk was acquired by the Bullish group, which also owns Bullish, a regulated digital asset exchange. The majority of the Bullish group is owned by Block.one, and both companies have investments in various blockchain and digital asset businesses as well as significant holdings of digital assets such as bitcoin.

Although acquired, CoinDesk continues to operate as an independent subsidiary with its own editorial committee in place to protect journalistic integrity. Employees at CoinDesk, including journalists, may receive options in the Bullish group as part of their compensation package. This acquisition allows CoinDesk to continue delivering high-quality news and analysis within the cryptocurrency space.

In addition to its acquisition by the Bullish group, CoinDesk has recently updated its privacy policy, terms of use, cookies, and do not sell my personal information policy. These updates are designed to provide greater transparency and control over users’ data while ensuring that it continues to deliver accurate and unbiased reporting within the cryptocurrency industry.

CoinDesk is committed to maintaining its independence while continuing to deliver quality journalism within the cryptocurrency industry. With this recent update on its privacy policy and other policies, users can have confidence that their data is being handled responsibly and ethically.
