Background
The Crypto Times was founded by Hardik Katariya, who began engaging with cryptocurrency and blockchain around 2016. The outlet formally launched around 2020 from Ahmedabad, India, with a stated mission to educate a general audience about blockchain and digital assets. It operates through two legal entities — Protocols and Tokens Pvt Ltd in India and Bitrock Technologies LLC in the UAE — and has since expanded to include a presence in Dubai. The outlet claims to have reached over 10 million organic readers and covers crypto news, market analysis, regulatory policy, and investigative reporting. Revenue comes from digital advertising and sponsored content, which the outlet states is strictly separated from its editorial operations. By nature of its audience, The Crypto Times has a pro-crypto-industry orientation, but it has shown a willingness to publish critical reporting: it has covered the Trump administration's favorable crypto legislation (the GENIUS Act signed July 2025, the CLARITY Act, and a Bitcoin strategic reserve executive order) alongside investigative pieces examining the Trump family's estimated $2.3 billion in crypto-linked income and questions about regulatory conflicts of interest. No significant third-party documented controversies about editorial misconduct have surfaced in available records.
