About Crypto Banter

We are the World’s No.1 LIVE Crypto Streaming Channel. Covering Bitcoin, Breaking news, hottest stories, Altcoins, top Founders and Billionaires’ next big Market Moves, every single day.

We are the fastest growing crypto media business in the world. What started with two enthusiasts streaming crypto content from a coffee shop, has now become a consortium of the most influential media channels for live crypto news, trading, investing, web3 and crypto gaming content, working with the biggest advertising partners, affiliates and paid products or services in the industry.

The idea was born off the back of a successful career at CNBC global having started the world’s first televised daily crypto news show. The restrictions of legacy and corporate media led to the idea of pursuing a media venture that is now at the forefront of the media 2.0 movement for tech, finance and crypto.

Today we have over 80 employees and create content that accrues over 10M monthly views across our network of channels. We are hungrier than ever before, driven by a mission of achieving the impossible and building the most profitable community in the world along the way.

We are a group of enthusiasts, misfits and entrepreneurs that work harder than anyone else in the industry, fueled by passion and obsession for what we love to do. If you feel you are aligned with our core values, work hard, love what you do and know how to consistently provide value - WE NEED YOU!
