Write For Us – Crypto Regulation Guest Posts

Pitch us a crypto regulation article

Send your pitch to editor@usacryptoreports.com. That link opens an email with the questions below already in it – answer them inline and send.

  • Your topic and the specific angle
  • What makes it different from what already ranks
  • Any link you want included – the URL and the anchor text
  • Whether you have a commercial relationship with anything named in the piece
  • Where else it has been published, if anywhere
  • Your sources, and a byline plus one-line bio

Telling us about a commercial interest does not disqualify a piece – we run disclosed contributions. It decides whether the article is labelled editorial or sponsored, and whether outbound links carry rel="sponsored". Finding out afterwards is the only version that ends badly. Prefer a form? Use the contact form instead.

Regulation is where crypto ATM operators live or die, and where readers get the least reliable information. We want pieces grounded in actual filings and rules – not predictions about what a regulator might do next.

What we want

  • State money transmitter requirements and how they differ in practice, not just on paper
  • FinCEN registration, the Travel Rule, and what they oblige an operator to collect
  • Enforcement actions analysed for what they signal, rather than summarised
  • Legislative tracking with an honest read on likelihood

What we decline

  • Predictions about regulator behaviour
  • Advocacy from either direction
  • Legal advice, or anything that reads as legal advice
  • Press-release summaries with no added analysis

A pitch that would work

A comparison of ID thresholds at the same operator across four states, tied precisely to what each state actually requires.

Rates

Submissions are currently free. We are building this section and would rather have good crypto regulation and compliance reporting than early revenue, so there is no fee to submit or to publish right now. Paid placement will open later; when it does it will be clearly labelled and the editorial standards on this page will not change.

What payment will never buy: a directory listing, a better position in it, or publication of something that fails fact-checking. See the sponsored content policy and our affiliate disclosure.

Requirements

  • 1,000-1,500 words, original, not published anywhere else.
  • Sources linked inline to primary material – filings, fee schedules, operator records.
  • A real author bio and a verifiable identity.
  • We edit for accuracy and house style, and we fact-check before publishing. See our editorial process.
  • Unfamiliar terms are defined in our crypto glossary – use it rather than re-explaining basics.

Questions

Are you looking for lawyers?

Practitioners are welcome, but the piece must be analysis rather than client-facing legal advice, and it will carry a disclaimer.

Do you cover non-US regulation?

Only where it affects US operators or users directly.

Can I cover pending legislation?

Yes, with an honest assessment of whether it will pass. We decline pieces treating a draft bill as settled.

Other subjects we accept

We run a separate brief for each subject because what makes a good crypto regulation and compliance piece is not what makes a good piece elsewhere. Pick the one that fits:

Why USA Crypto Reports is the right home for your cryptocurrency regulation and compliance writing

The site’s core asset is a verified Bitcoin ATM directory – 214 listings across 159 US locations as of the end of August 2026, rebuilt after we checked 200 original listings and found 41 no longer existed. That process, and what it turned up when Bitcoin Depot filed Chapter 11 and we pulled 1,546 of its machines from the queue, is why the regulation section exists at all. Compliance failures and license lapses are not abstractions here – they show up as dead listings we have to remove.

We are looking for writers who read filings the way we read directory data: line by line, checking whether the thing claimed still exists. That means compliance officers, former regulators, attorneys who work in this space, and reporters who have sat through a state legislative hearing rather than summarized the bill text. If your best source is a press release, this is not the right outlet.

The editorial angle is narrow on purpose: what a rule actually requires an operator to do, what an enforcement action actually penalized, and what a bankruptcy or license revocation actually does to the machines and the money sitting behind them. We publish on a fixed schedule, so a piece that is accurate but generic will lose out to one that is narrower and better sourced.

Example topics we are currently accepting

  • What Bitcoin Depot’s Chapter 11 Filing Means for State Money Transmitter Bond Claims
  • State-by-State Bonding Requirements for Bitcoin ATM Operators: A Working Comparison
  • What Happens to Customer Funds When a Licensed Kiosk Operator Files Bankruptcy
  • Reading an Enforcement Consent Order Line by Line: A Kiosk Operator Case Study
  • How State Regulators Are Responding to the Federal Reserve’s Bitcoin ATM Fee Findings
  • The Difference Between a Money Transmitter License and a BitLicense, and Why Operators Confuse Them
  • Tracking State Legislative Sessions: Which Crypto ATM Bills Actually Have a Path to Passage
  • What a FinCEN MSB Registration Actually Requires Beyond the Filing Itself
  • How Operator Failures Are Reshaping State Licensing Renewal Reviews
  • Why Some States License Bitcoin ATM Operators Separately From Other Money Transmitters

What happens after you submit

Most pitches we get are declined, usually because they restate a regulation instead of testing it against what an operator or a regulator actually did. Here is the process from pitch to decision.

  • You send a topic, an angle, and your sourcing plan to editor@usacryptoreports.com
  • We reply, usually within a few days, with either a go-ahead, a request to narrow the angle, or a decline
  • You file the draft with sources linked inline
  • We fact-check every claim against the primary document, not a secondary summary of it
  • We edit for house style and send back anything that needs a source we could not verify
  • If it passes, it goes into the publishing schedule; if it does not, you get a specific reason – usually unverifiable claims, advocacy dressed as analysis, or a topic already covered better than the draft covers it

Can I submit a piece that has appeared elsewhere?

No. We only publish original work that has not run on another site, including your own blog or a company newsroom. If we find it published elsewhere after we accept it, we will unpublish it.

Do you accept AI-assisted drafts?

Only if you disclose it, and only if every fact in the draft is one you have personally verified against a primary source. You are accountable for the piece regardless of how it was drafted, and if we find a fabricated citation or a case that does not exist, that ends the relationship, disclosed or not.

What happens to my article after it is published?

It stays up under your byline and gets updated if the underlying regulation, filing status, or enforcement outcome changes. We may edit for accuracy or add an editor’s note if something in it is later contradicted by a new filing or ruling.

Can I pitch a series?

Yes, but we commit one piece at a time. Send the first article, and if it holds up through fact-checking and does well, we will talk about the rest of the series rather than agreeing to it upfront.

Search operators for finding crypto regulation guest post opportunities

If you place guest posts for a living, these are the strings that surface sites accepting crypto regulation contributions. They are here because the people we most want to hear from are usually the ones already running these searches – and because a site that asks for contributors should be findable by the same queries it expects writers to use. Paste any of them into Google as-is.

How to use them: the quoted phrases find pages whose wording matches an invitation to contribute. allintitle: narrows to pages with every one of those words in the title tag, which is the tightest filter and the shortest list. inurl: catches sites whose contributor section lives at a predictable path. Run the allintitle: lines first – they return the pages most likely to be genuinely open – then widen out.

Before you pitch

Read something we have published, and look at the ATM directory – it is the centre of the site and the reason our standards on sourcing are what they are. Then send the topic, your angle, and one sentence on what makes it different from what already ranks.
