Editorial & Advertising Policy

Sources we accept

An article here rests on the primary legal document: the agency release or order, the Federal Register notice, the bill text, the court docket or the statute. Another outlet's summary is never our source.

• Quotations are taken from the document and the document is linked.
• Dates, deadlines and effective dates are given exactly as the document states them.
• When a document leaves a question open, the article says so instead of guessing.
• A statement from an official or a company is reported as a statement, not as law.

Not legal advice

Our articles explain public documents for a general reader. They are not legal, tax or investment advice, and they are no substitute for a lawyer who knows your situation.

When we misread a document

If we state a requirement, date or party incorrectly, we correct the article and add a dated note describing the change. Email contact@bitcoinnews.us with the document that shows the error.

Publishing access

Only Bitcoin News US editors can publish on this site. Law firms, lobbyists, companies and advertisers cannot post here, and each article is reviewed against its source document before it runs.

Advertising and sponsorship

Should Bitcoin News US ever carry sponsored material, it will follow these rules:

• The word "Sponsored" appears at the top of the piece.
• A sponsor never shapes how we report a rule, bill or case.
• Links paid for by a sponsor are marked rel="sponsored".
• Sponsored pieces are kept out of the regulation coverage and its category pages.
