He has consistently been at the forefront of covering crypto regulation, decentralized finance, and emerging technologies and now joins BeInCrypto to lead and evolve our global newsroom.
“I’m thrilled to join BeInCrypto at such a pivotal time for the Web3 ecosystem. My goal is to build on BeInCrypto’s strong foundation of multilingual reporting and deliver deeper, high-impact stories that reflect the complexity, urgency, and opportunity of this fast-moving space,” said Brian McGleenon.
