Damn
been seeing DL News on my timeline for months, so this feels weird to read
i honestly thought they were one of the few crypto media brands that had already secured their place
guess that's another reminder of how hard it is to survive in this industry, even when you're well known
respect to the team for what they built over the years 🫡
sad to see that @dlnews is shutting down
it was one of my favorite sources for unbiased and objective reporting on crypto and defi
the bear market has been tough on everyone
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
Working at @dlnews over the past three years alongside @eking0x, @aleks_gilbert, @Liam_Gallas and everyone else has been a blast. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world.
Seems like now's a good time to recap some of my favourite stories from over the years. Check them out below in case you missed any⬇️
i am no longer with dl news because dl news is no longer with us. rip (press f)
thank you all for your support, tips, quotes, data, readership, etc. over the years!

@dlnews Hate to see it. You were often the best and sometimes only reporting on nuanced legal issues and it was constantly done with accuracy and taking into account differing views on areas the law was unclear.
This will be missed.
This is pretty sad, worked with DL News and it was a bliss, they went above and beyond for us.
Generally professional, no bs, non grifty source of defi news. Thanks for great content over the years!
A top DeFi publication is shutting down, and that's terrible news for the industry.
They hired real journalists who actually use crypto, understood its inner workings, and probed into failures, all while bringing a fluency that has been lacking at mainstream publications.
Outlets like these are incredibly important for fledgling startups, infra firms, and really any crypto company seeking coverage that's actually aligned with a genuine care for and interest in the tech.
Lord Kulveer Ranger, of the House of Lords, says the UK needs to provide the stablecoin industry with 'regulatory confidence. Signals that innovation will not just be permitted, but enabled within clear and proportionate guardrails.'

DeFi protocols are capitalising on the trading card boom.

People owed money by North Korea want the crypto that was nearly stolen in the April 18 Kelp DAO hack.
That crypto was earmarked for a recovery fund meant to compensate people affected by the hack.
