Good to know
Still curious?
Suggest a topic, flag a scam, point out a mistake, or just ask. We read everything.
Will you tell me which coin to buy?
No. CRYPT2DAY explains what happened and why. We never recommend buying, selling or holding any coin or token, and we never take money to promote one. Crypto is risky and unregulated in many ways; talk to a registered adviser about your own money.
Are the prices live?
Yes. The ticker and the live panel load prices from CoinGecko in your browser and refresh every minute. They can lag exchanges by a few minutes and may differ slightly from the app you trade on.
How often do you post?
Every day. Monday is crypto basics, Tuesday a coin check, Wednesday rules and tax, Thursday money flows and Friday staying safe. Every evening there is a short market wrap, and at the weekend we look back at the week in crypto.
Is it free?
Yes. The site and the newsletter are free.
Where do the numbers come from?
From primary sources wherever possible: the Income Tax Act and CBDT notices, regulators like SEBI, the RBI and the US SEC, project documentation, exchanges and established news agencies. Every explainer lists its sources at the bottom.
One crypto story. Every morning. Zero hype.
