# News & Research Sources

While I think that the best way to keep on top of breaking trends in the crypto space is through Twitter and Reddit, there are some “traditional” news sources that do an excellent job of covering developing trends. 

I’m particularly fond of sites such as The Block and Messari that provide in-depth, Wall Street quality research (albeit at a fairly hefty sum).

Below are some of the more popular news sites in crypto:
