Quick answer: STnews is funded by advertising, clearly disclosed sponsored content, brand partnerships and, where noted, affiliate links. None of it buys favourable editorial — commercial and independent coverage are kept separate, and nothing we publish is financial advice.
Key takeaways
- Revenue comes from advertising, sponsored content, partnerships and affiliate links.
- Editorial independence is protected; coverage is never for sale.
- All paid and affiliate placements are disclosed to readers.
- Funding never turns into financial advice.

How we protect independence
Commercial relationships never decide what we cover or how. Sponsored and affiliate placements are labelled, kept separate from editorial, and we never buy or sell favourable coverage, in line with the FTC endorsement guidelines.
Not financial advice
Crypto is volatile and risky. Everything on STnews, commercial or editorial, is information only and is never a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any asset.
