Crypto Press Releases Form Parallel News Market, Study Shows
Coverage from Beincrypto reports that an analysis of 2,893 crypto press releases published between June and November 2025 shows distribution networks operating as a parallel news market capable of shaping sentiment and temporarily moving prices, even before verification occurs, with most releases originating from high-risk or scam projects.
The study found that 62% of releases originated from high-risk (35.6%) or outright scam (26.9%) projects, while 27% were low risk and 10% medium risk. Only 2% of releases (58 total) covered substantive events such as funding rounds, mergers, or research; nearly 50% were product or feature updates and 24% related to trading and exchange listings.
