1 of those reports was paywalled or blocked to us. Our reading of this outlet is built on the 0 we could open, not on everything it published.
A blindspot is measured against one side of the spectrum. Coin Desk is rated centre, so there is no side for it to be counted against and we publish no figure here.
On the one story of ours where at least three of the reports we listed carried a time, another outlet was always ahead of Coin Desk: its report arrived a median of 16 hours after the earliest one we logged.
Measured 6 August 2026. Last seen in a coverage list 6 August 2026. Ratings pulled 6 August 2026.

Other outlets rated the same way
Publishers carrying the same published leaning as Coin Desk, also publishing from United States, ordered by how often we have seen them on a story. Sharing a rating is not the same as being alike.
Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
