The list

In no ranked order. The note beside each says what it is good for, which is a different thing from how big it is.

Each note describes the publication in its own terms. Briefwire reads what these sources publish, in public, and nothing else.

    Daily crypto analysis and founder interviews; the most-followed independent desk in the sector.

How the list was made, and what we do with it

Chosen by hand
Every source is here because people who work in Crypto & Stablecoins say substantive things on it, not because it is large. Enough of them to cover the field, few enough to audit.
Checked before listing
Each feed is fetched and checked when it is added and again whenever the library is re-checked by hand: one whose newest item is more than six months old fails, and one quiet for more than three is flagged but can stay listed. Every source is English-language and public.
Read, so you need not
You do not have to watch all of them. Each new video is read from its published captions, and the claims worth keeping are pulled out with a link to the second where each was said.
When it is read
Briefwire reads a beat’s sources through the day while a trial or paid account tracks it. A beat nobody tracks may not be read at all, and its page shows the library, not a live feed.
Sent as a brief
The 12 lines that rank highest across the whole Crypto & Stablecoins beat go out daily or weekly. A claim several independent sources made ranks higher — that counts agreement, not accuracy.

The YouTube channels are one part of the beat. Every Crypto & Stablecoins source, all media — or just the podcasts or blogs and newsletters.
