A record month, with less dependence on the market

January 2026 was our best month of web traffic ever, crossing 1.3M+ unique users and 2.2M pageviews across the CryptoSlate network.

What stands out most is the trend we have been watching for months: our audience growth is diverging from Bitcoin (BTC) price even more than previously. In other words, readers are showing up for CryptoSlate because they want context, coverage, and data, not just because the market is pumping.

That is a meaningful signal for the long-term health of the platform, and for partners who want reliable reach across cycles.

Product updates: a better reading experience, and faster discovery

We shipped a set of updates designed to do two things: make articles feel better to read, and make it dramatically easier to find what you are looking for.

Refreshed magazine layout for articles

We rolled out a refreshed magazine-style layout across articles, improving readability and making key information easier to scan. This update also sets us up for more consistent presentation across editorial formats, including deep dives, explainers, and guides.

Universal search plus autosuggest

We also launched universal search with autosuggest, a major improvement that helps users discover content and data faster. Whether someone is looking for a project, a narrative, a sector, a person, or a specific story, search now gets them there with fewer clicks and less friction.

New: Sectors page tracking all 94 crypto asset sectors

One of the biggest additions in January is our new Sectors hub, which tracks all 94 crypto asset sectors we are currently covering.

You can explore it here: cryptoslate.com/sectors

This is built for readers who want to understand how categories evolve over time, and for teams who want to track narratives, competitors, and relative momentum within their sector.

Our first Guide with WhiteBIT, part 1 of a 3-part series

We launched our first Guide with WhiteBIT, kicking off a three-part series focused on exchange operations, market structure, and the practical systems that matter when liquidity, latency, and risk controls are not theoretical.

Part 1 is live here: The Market Maker’s Exchange Checklist: Liquidity, Latency, and Risk Controls
