The cryptocurrency market is vast, with information overflowing and continuously updated. Before investing, it’s essential to equip yourself with knowledge about the market and projects. Therefore, today Allinstation introduces readers to the TOP 20 crypto news sites necessary for your investment journey. The article will be divided into two parts!
Social Media Platforms in Crypto
X (formerly Twitter)
This platform is becoming increasingly familiar to Vietnamese users. For countries in America and Europe, it is a very familiar platform where people can almost “freely express” and share topics they like.
X is a social media platform with many interesting features that allow users to post content often called “threads” to share knowledge, experiences, or user perspectives.
For investors, having a platform like X is almost a must because it gathers everything from personal sharing, investment perspectives to project information and market data. Of course, you will need to filter information and users to follow to have a “quality” X feed because not every user on X provides useful insights.
Additionally, X has formed a culture where communities are created to support crypto projects, connect people, write threads related to a problem or project, and interact with each other, gradually forming a “community.”
Almost every project, KOL, or website has an X account, so newcomers to X can search for big names in the industry to follow first and gradually explore other quality features and accounts to follow.
Moreover, the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, is also someone who brings attention to crypto, especially memecoins, as he has often tweeted cryptic images of these coins.

Telegram
The second highlight is Telegram, known as a messaging app similar to Zalo, offering document and information security as well as a smooth user experience. If the community on X is an open community where anyone can see messages and finding information is quite challenging due to interactions between accounts, the community on Telegram is more private as you have to join their group to see the information they share.
Typically, a community will have two groups:
- Group for announcing information and news to users
HC Capital Channel - Community chat group to connect people with each other and with the project
HC Capital Chat
Currently, HC Capital has its own ecosystem on Telegram, which you can refer to here: https://t.me/HCCapital_Channel
Discord
Discord is a messaging, calling, and voice chat platform, but unlike other messaging apps, Discord integrates many interesting features that allow a community to have more experiences, such as live streaming within the community, and within a community, it can be divided into different sections to help users distinguish information more clearly (Telegram also has this feature, but Discord is the pioneer and has a rather unique interface design).
Discord is considered a primary place for projects where users can exchange directly and receive feedback more easily compared to Telegram.
Crypto News Sites with Fast 24/7 Updates and Credibility

Websites Providing Basic Investment Information
CoinGecko
CoinGecko is one of the leading websites today for providing data and market information on Crypto. CoinGecko offers many features and diverse data, including:
- Prices and information of over 10,000 different coins and tokens, such as circulating supply, market capitalization, trading volume, etc.
- Trading data from 840 different exchanges, including both DEX and CEX.
- Price charts of coins and tokens displayed in various forms such as lines, bars, etc.
Besides providing data for regular Crypto projects, CoinGecko is currently expanding into many new fields such as NFT and gaming. CoinGecko also produces quarterly reports, with content surrounding the Crypto market and new trends. Currently, CoinGecko has a traffic volume of up to 28 million per month, equivalent to the traffic of Coinbase.
CoinMarketCap
CoinMarketCap is the leading platform in aggregating information about the Crypto market in general and tokens in particular. The website is quite similar to CoinGecko, providing essential macro parameters for investors such as market capitalization, trading volume, transaction fees, etc.
For specific token information, CoinMarketCap provides details such as token capitalization, maximum supply, circulating supply, and project website information. This platform was acquired and developed by the largest exchange in the market, Binance, since March 2020. CoinMarketCap stands out for its ability to update information the fastest in the market, with some projects not yet listing tokens already present on this platform. However, current users are somewhat hesitant to use CoinMarketCap due to concerns about control and data manipulation by Binance.
Cryptorank
CryptoRank is also a platform providing market data and prices similar to CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap. However, in terms of daily users, CryptoRank currently has a lower number compared to the two platforms above, but in terms of project information, it is more quality and comprehensive when categorizing information for a project more and serving the purpose of better project information search.
The biggest attraction of CryptoRank is the information provided by the project, including:
- Price data of over 26,000 coins and tokens in the market.
- Overview of funding rounds of projects through VC, IDO, ICO, etc.
- Token vesting schedule of projects in the market displayed visually.
- Project team
Platforms like CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and CryptoRank all play important roles in providing data and market information on Crypto, helping users quickly and accurately grasp information.
