Background

Blockonomi launched in 2017, founded by Manchester-based entrepreneur Oliver Dale through his company Kooc Media Ltd. The site was created to provide news, guides, tutorials, and reviews covering cryptocurrencies, fintech, and the blockchain economy. It grew during the 2017–2018 cryptocurrency boom and continued publishing through subsequent market cycles. The outlet has maintained a relatively small editorial footprint compared to larger crypto publishers like CoinDesk or The Block, but built an audience through SEO-optimized explainer content and market coverage. Blockonomi is funded through display advertising and affiliate links — a common model in crypto media that can create commercial pressure to publish content favorable to advertised products. Some articles on the site carry the hallmarks of sponsored or affiliate-linked content, including speculative coin promotions. The site has not been involved in major documented scandals but, like much of the retail-facing crypto media space, blends news with investment-oriented content. Its coverage skews toward encouraging reader participation in crypto markets rather than adversarial or investigative journalism.
