Editorial policy

This page explains how Jukipto's content is made. It is here so that you can judge for yourself how much to trust what you read, and so that you can hold us to it if we fail to live up to it.

What we publish

Three kinds of content, with different rules:

• Market data. Prices, market capitalisations, volumes, rankings, comparisons and the daily summary. They are generated from the CoinGecko API and from our own historical series. They do not go through a newsroom because there is nothing to write: they are figures, and figures are either there or they are not.
• Reference content. The glossary and the guides. They are written once and reviewed when whatever they explain changes.
• Articles. Analysis and news. This is where human judgement comes in, and where mistakes are most likely to slip through.

The images

The covers of our news stories and our videos carry illustrated presenters: a wolf and two people who do not exist. They are not journalists. They do not sign anything, they do not give opinions and they are never the source of a claim: they put a face to the brand, and that is all they do.

Articles are signed by a person, with a name and a surname, and it is stated in who signs the articles.

When a news story or a statement centres on a public figure, we may run a real photograph of them that is freely licensed or in the public domain, with its author and licence in plain view and a colour filter in the brand's palette. We never give anyone a face that is not their own, and we never fabricate or alter a photograph to show something that did not happen.

The figures

Every figure that appears in a text has to exist in the data we hold. We do not estimate, we do not round "upwards" and we do not illustrate an argument with an approximate number. If we do not have a figure, the sentence does not get written.

When a figure comes from a third party, we say where it comes from and with what date. A market figure without a date is not verifiable, and something that is not verifiable should not be published on a finance site.

Where we say a coin can be bought

This is the figure on this site with the most consequences, because it can end with someone opening an account and putting money in. So it answers two separate checks, and both have to come out right:

• That the platform may operate here. We cross-check it against ESMA's public register of authorised crypto-asset service providers, which we re-import daily and you can consult in our listing. It is not decided by a list hand-written in our code.
• That the platform actually sells that coin. We walk each one's full list of trading pairs, once a week, and record which ones we found and on what date. Being authorised does not mean selling every coin, and for a while this site confused the two.

That produces four possible answers, and none of them is paraphrased as another: where it can be bought and with which pair; where it is listed but has gone days without trades; that none of the platforms we can check sells it — which is useful information, not a gap; and that we have not checked yet. The last one is never written as the third. If our check fails, we say so; we do not turn it into a "does not exist" that reads better.

And some authorised platforms do not publish a list of pairs at all — brokers do not run an order book. About those we assert nothing, either way, and the page names them rather than staying quiet, because staying quiet would imply we had looked.

The rankings

In the lists of "biggest risers", "most traded" or "close to their highs" we apply two filters, and we explain them on the page itself:

• A minimum volume. A coin that is up 300% because someone bought two hundred euros' worth is not information about the market.
• No pegged coins. Stablecoins and tokenised funds are worth a dollar today, were worth a dollar yesterday and will be worth a dollar tomorrow: they are always at their highs and always lead on volume. Leaving them in would turn the rankings into a constant.

The sources

When an article starts from a story published by another outlet, we link to the original with a normal link, one that passes authority. We do not rewrite other people's texts to pass them off as our own: if the only thing we have to add is a headline moved from one place to another, we do not publish.

Corrections

Mistakes are corrected, not deleted. When we correct a figure or a statement in an article that is already published, we leave a footnote with the date and what was changed. A silent correction is a way of lying twice.

If you spot an error, write to info@jukipto.com with the link and what is wrong.

Content and advertising

Advertising is identified and kept separate from the text. Affiliate links carry rel="sponsored" and a visible disclosure. We do not accept paid articles presented as editorial content, nor links inserted into old texts in exchange for money.

What this is not

Jukipto is not an investment services firm. Nothing published here is financial advice, nor a recommendation to buy or to sell. It is set out in full in the financial disclaimer.
