BeInCrypto has been voted by the public as one of the top media outlets in the ‘Crypto Press’ category at this year’s Blockchain 100 Award, hosted by Binance. This prestigious recognition honors media outlets and journalists delivering exceptional coverage of blockchain and crypto – educating, engaging, and inspiring the Web3 ecosystem – culminating in an award ceremony during Binance Blockchain Week 2025.
The inaugural edition of the Blockchain 100 Award recognizes and celebrates those who, through education and information sharing, promote crypto to the public and help move the Web3 industry forward.
Alena Afanaseva, Founder and CEO of BeInCrypto, comments:
“Thank you Binance, it’s a great honor to receive this Press Award.
I have to sometimes pinch myself, because it’s hard to believe all the great things we managed to achieve. Seven years ago, BeIncrypto was just four people writing English articles and arguing about headlines on a shared Google Document.
Today, we’re a global organization with over 150 staff from more than 60 countries, publishing news and analysis across 26 languages. We’ve built the largest crypto media outlet by coverage, ensuring that quality reporting reaches every corner of the world. We’ll continue to publish news and analysis to connect the world to Web3.
Thank you for your support, and here’s to another seven years!”
BeInCrypto’s recognition reflects seven years of relentless growth and dedication. Since 2018, we have grown into a top-three crypto news platform, reaching over 7 million readers monthly across 26 languages with content tailored to local audiences. In 2025, this growth was followed by a website infrastructure upgrade, built to improve speed, scalability, and content discovery, further enhancing the reader experience.
“We’re entering a phase of the internet where volume is cheap and trust is scarce, with AI-generated content threatening to drown out real reporting,” said Brian McGleenon, Global Head of News at BeInCrypto.
“Running a global newsroom today means resisting the pull of AI slop and doubling down on human verification, local expertise, and editorial judgment, especially as search traffic fragments in a post-Google Zero world. This recognition shows that audiences still value journalism built by people who are accountable, present, and committed to getting it right.”
This award is a testament to the effort, passion, and expertise of our global team, as well as the support of our engaged audience who make BeInCrypto a trusted voice in the crypto ecosystem.
