Pitch us a cryptocurrency 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.
Most crypto writing is addressed to people who already trade. Ours is addressed to people who meet crypto in physical form – at a machine in a gas station, with cash in hand, often because they do not have a bank account that makes the alternative easy. That single fact changes what is worth publishing.
What we want
- How a mechanism works end to end – custody, settlement, refunds, and what happens when it fails
- Consumer-facing costs, including where the real margin sits rather than the advertised fee
- Reporting on the cash-to-crypto layer: operators, host businesses, compliance obligations
- Explainers that assume no prior knowledge and still tell an informed reader something new
What we decline
- Price predictions and “where will X be in 2027”
- Token or presale promotion in any form
- Rewrites of whatever currently ranks
- Anything framing crypto as guaranteed returns
A pitch that would work
Why a machine holds its quoted rate for only ninety seconds, what the operator is hedging against, and what that hedge costs you – with the arithmetic shown.
Rates
Submissions are currently free. We are building this section and would rather have good cryptocurrency 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
Do you accept beginner-level explainers?
Yes, if they are accurate and add something. A piece that explains custody clearly and correctly is more useful than a shallow take on a complex topic. What we decline is the fifth rewrite of an article that already ranks.
Can I include a link to my product?
One relevant link is fine and will be marked appropriately if the placement is paid. An article built around the link, with content as filler, is declined regardless of payment.
How long does review take?
We read everything. We do not reply to every pitch. A completed draft that fits gets a response faster than an idea that needs shaping.
Other subjects we accept
We run a separate brief for each subject because what makes a good cryptocurrency piece is not what makes a good piece elsewhere. Pick the one that fits:
- Write for us: Bitcoin
- Write for us: Ethereum
- Write for us: Bitcoin ATMs
- Write for us: blockchain
- Write for us: DeFi
- Write for us: crypto mining
- Write for us: crypto security and scams
- Write for us: crypto regulation and compliance
- Write for us: crypto exchanges
- General submissions
Why USA Crypto Reports is the right home for your cryptocurrency writing
This is not a general crypto blog looking for filler between ad units. The directory at the center of the site currently tracks 214 machine listings across 159 US locations, and every one of those listings was checked by hand, not scraped and left to rot. When we did that check, 41 of the first 200 listings we tested turned out to be for machines that no longer existed. That is the standard of verification we expect from writing, too: if you cite an operator, a fee structure, or a filing, we expect you checked it the same way we check a listing.
The reader we are writing for is someone who has met crypto through a machine, a kiosk, or a cash transaction, not someone who already has a Coinbase account and a hardware wallet. That reader is well served by writers who understand the mechanics of custody and compliance, not by writers who assume everyone already knows what a seed phrase is. If your interest is in how the industry actually operates – who runs the machines, what happens when an operator goes under, what a regulator’s report actually says versus what got repeated in the headline – you are writing for the right audience here.
We publish on a fixed schedule, which means we are not sitting on submissions indefinitely. A piece that is accurate, specific, and sourced to something primary gets a slot. A piece that restates what is already on the front page of five other crypto sites does not.
Example topics we are currently accepting
- What a Chapter 11 Filing Means for the Machines Still Running: The Bitcoin Depot Case
- How Byte Federal and CoinFlip Structure Compliance Differently
- Reading a Crypto Exchange’s Proof-of-Reserves Report Line by Line
- What Actually Happens to Your Coins When an Exchange Freezes Withdrawals
- The Compliance Paperwork Behind Opening a Cash-to-Crypto Kiosk in a Convenience Store
- How State Money Transmitter Licensing Actually Applies to Crypto Operators
- Stablecoin Redemption in Practice: What Happens When You Try to Cash Out
- How a Blockchain Explorer Actually Confirms a Transaction, Step by Step
- The Difference Between a Custodial Wallet Failure and a Smart Contract Exploit
- What a Host Business Agrees to When It Puts a Bitcoin ATM in Its Store
What happens after you submit
Most submissions we receive are declined, usually because the piece is a rewrite of something already ranking, relies on a source the writer never actually opened, or turns out to be promotion for a token or product dressed up as reporting. Here is the process a submission actually goes through.
- You send the topic, angle, and sourcing plan, or a completed draft, to the editorial address.
- An editor reads it against what we already cover and what our audience needs, not against how well it is written.
- If it fits, we check every factual claim and every source against the primary material before anything is edited for style.
- If it does not fit, you get a short note, if you get a reply at all, and it will usually say why: unoriginal angle, unverifiable sourcing, or promotional framing.
Can I submit a piece that has appeared elsewhere?
No. We require original work that has not run on your own site, a client’s site, or anywhere else, including in a slightly reworded form. If we find a close match to previously published material during fact-checking, the piece is declined and we do not ask you to revise it.
Do you accept AI-assisted drafts?
Disclose it if a tool was involved in drafting or research. Disclosure does not disqualify a piece, but you remain accountable for every fact, figure, and quote in it, the same as if you had typed every word yourself. If a fact-check turns up a fabricated source or a citation that does not exist and it was not disclosed, that ends the relationship, not just the piece.
What happens to my article after it is published?
It runs under your byline with the bio you provided, and it stays on the site as part of the archive rather than being pulled down after a fixed window. We reserve the right to update it if a fact in it goes stale, for example an operator ceasing to exist or a regulator issuing new guidance, and we will note when a substantive update has been made.
Can I pitch a series?
You can, but we commit one piece at a time. Send the first article on its own merits; if it holds up through fact-checking and fits the schedule, we will talk about where the rest of the series might go rather than agreeing to a run of pieces before we have seen your sourcing on any of them.
Search operators for finding cryptocurrency guest post opportunities
If you place guest posts for a living, these are the strings that surface sites accepting cryptocurrency 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.
