About DeFi Market Journal

Plain-English guides to DeFi, crypto markets and NFTs, published and edited by Robert Stone.

DeFi Market Journal publishes plain-English guides and news on decentralized finance, crypto markets and NFTs. Every guide has its own charts, real examples and the risks spelled out. Reports in the news section are sourced and dated.

Who publishes it

DeFi Market Journal is owned, published and edited by Robert Stone, based in Belen, New Mexico, USA. Rob has spent 18 years in PR and is Deputy Editor of Crypto Magazine. He bought his first bitcoin in 2011.

How the site makes money

DMJ earns from multimedia packages (press release distribution) and sponsored placements for crypto companies, which are always labelled Sponsored, and from affiliate links, which are disclosed on the page where they appear. Nobody pays for a guide or for what it says.

Connections you should know about

Crypto Magazine is published by CMC Group of Companies Ltd, a UK company that also owns the Liquid NFTs marketplace and issues the FUSD token. DeFi Market Journal is not owned by CMC Group. Rob also owns a Liquid Genesis NFT, which pays a royalty into his wallet. Because of these ties, every DMJ page that covers Liquid NFTs or FUSD carries a disclosure, and those pages explain the risks as plainly as the benefits.

Standards

Every article carries a byline and a publication date. Facts are checked against primary sources: the protocol's own documents, on-chain data and official announcements. We use AI tools to research and draft, and to make our illustrations, which are labeled. Robert Stone checks the facts and signs off on every story. If we get something wrong, we correct it on the page and say what changed. Our full fact-checking and corrections policy is on DMJ Facts. Nothing here is financial advice.

The knot in our logo

Climbers have a habit: before anyone leaves the ground, they check their partner's knot. That's the knot in our logo. Before your money leaves the ground, somebody should check the knot, and that's the job here.

The promises we make to every reader are on one page: How We Treat Readers.

Questions, corrections or partnership enquiries: email news@defimarketjournal.com or use our contact form. Both go straight to the editor. To contribute or promote a project, see Guest Posting or Multimedia Packages.
