Crypto platforms and risk disclosures: what our editors check

Yield language, registration claims and state rules.

Studio sample: editorial guidance and illustrative examples. A qualified reviewer must approve firm-specific communications.

Inventory every claim

List statements about availability, registration, custody, yield and protection before drafting. Match each to a dated primary source. A screenshot of promotional copy is not independent verification.

Describe the product precisely

Distinguish the platform, product and entity involved. Avoid importing a claim from one jurisdiction or product into another. Questions about regulatory status go to the client’s qualified legal or compliance reviewer.

Give risks a readable place

A disclosure should be visible where the reader encounters the claim it qualifies. Review headings, charts, footnotes and mobile layouts together. Do not let an attractive design separate a benefit from its limitations.

Record the approval

Keep the reviewed version and the reviewer’s decision. Update stale material when the product or supporting evidence changes. This checklist concerns editorial process and does not determine a product’s legal status.

If a sentence cannot be sourced, it does not run.
