How Whale Factor works
We aggregate crypto news, pair it with live market data, and publish analysis in a consistent house voice. This page explains where our information comes from and how we handle accuracy, so you can judge the work for yourself.
Where our information comes from
News aggregation
We monitor a curated set of established crypto publications, including CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, The Block, Decrypt, Bitcoin Magazine, CryptoSlate, Blockworks, and others. Headlines are pulled from their public feeds, clustered by topic, and rewritten in our own editorial voice with attribution back to the original reporting.
Market data
Live prices, market capitalization, volume, and dominance come from the CoinGecko public API. The Fear and Greed Index comes from Alternative.me. Prices refresh on a short interval. Where a data provider is temporarily unavailable, we show a placeholder rather than a stale or invented number.
On-chain and whale data
On-chain features that track large wallet movements are being connected to live data providers. Where a feature is not yet backed by a live feed, it is labeled as sample data. We do not present illustrative numbers as real market activity.
Editorial rewriting
Articles are drafted with AI assistance and passed through an automated quality process that removes filler, enforces plain language, and strips formatting the house style does not allow. Every published piece is meant to add analysis or clarity, not to republish source text verbatim.
Accuracy and corrections
Crypto moves fast and early reports are sometimes wrong. When we learn that a published article contains an error, we correct it and note what changed. Market data is only as accurate as the provider behind it, and we label the source so you can verify it at the point of truth.
If you spot something that looks off, tell us. Reader corrections make the whole site better, and we would rather fix a mistake than defend it.
What we will not do
We do not present invented figures as live data. We do not publish paid placement disguised as coverage. We do not chase engagement with claims we cannot support. The point of Whale Factor is signal, and overclaiming is the fastest way to lose that.
