I’m Marcus Ellery, Senior Markets Editor at CryptoProjects.org. I cover crypto like a markets professional first and a storyteller second: price is a signal, liquidity is the engine, and risk management is the difference between insight and noise. My reporting centers on derivatives, ETF and index flows, stablecoin liquidity, exchange microstructure, and the macro factors that move crypto when headlines are loud but data is louder.
I came into crypto from traditional finance research and trading-adjacent roles, where I learned to respect the basics: position sizing, correlation regimes, and the uncomfortable truth that most narratives fail under stress. Over time I shifted toward editorial work because I wanted to translate complex market mechanics into plain English—without losing the nuance that experienced readers expect. I’m obsessive about charts, methodology, and definitions, because a single sloppy term can mislead an entire audience.
At CryptoProjects.org, I focus on turning market events into useful frameworks: what changed, what’s priced in, and what could invalidate the thesis. I’m strongest in technical market analysis, volatility and options context, and building repeatable playbooks for covering big moves—CPI days, FOMC weeks, major unlocks, exchange incidents, and risk-off cascades. I’m also a skeptic by default: I look for the alternative explanation, the missing denominator, and the incentives behind the “obvious” take.
Outside the newsroom, I keep a disciplined routine—reading macro releases, reviewing on-chain liquidity dashboards, and testing assumptions against historical analogs. I don’t promise certainty; I try to deliver clarity.
