Our founder and CEO Vince Molinari is standing by with another key announcement.
Good morning, Vince, I excited to hear what you have for us now.
Hey Remy, thanks so much.
I am so delighted to be joined by Gareth Jenkinson, who is the head of multimedia for Coin Telegraph.
We're going to jump into some things, but I can't bury the headline.
We're going to get to talk about this massive partnership between FinTech TV and Coin Telegraph, and I am beyond excited with that.
Hey Gareth.
Thanks for joining.
You've been such an amazing addition to some of our weekly coverage as a contributor.
Now we've gone to this next level of partnership.
Congratulations to you.
Big thanks, Jana, CEO of Coin Telegraph for bringing this across the finish line.
Welcome to the show and thanks for the partnership.
Thanks, Vince.
Yeah, it's great to be here.
It's been a great pleasure to do.
Our crossings the last 6 weeks and kind of explore this partnership and you know, Coin Telegraph has been in this industry as a, as a leading crypto outlet, the leading crypto outlet for more than a decade and to expand to new audiences to really get a foothold in the United States to have a chance to partner with you guys and broadcast from the New York Stock Exchange is super exciting.
Um, so yeah, I'm, I'm really thankful that that you guys got us on board.
Well, we're delighted and for some of our audience who isn't familiar with Coin Telegraph, maybe give us a little bit of the size and scope, you know, kind of the reach.
You have this massive social media following.
Yeah.
So we've been in the business a long time.
I mean, primarily focused on, on Bitcoin, uh.
Cryptocurrency, blockchain news, markets updates.
Uh, we've been going since, uh, you know, 2013, 2014.
So a really, really long time.
We, our website gets, you know, a good 10 million users, uh, uh, viewers a month.
Uh, our social media audience is, is over 5 million across the different platforms, you know, X, we have 2.7 million.
Uh, followers and uh we really have a very, very healthy audience that knows a lot about Bitcoin, knows a lot about crypto.
Uh, they trade actively.
They want to know, uh, high quality information, they want to know high quality news, and we aim to, to deliver that.
And I think we've done really well from a publication standpoint, a written publication standpoint, but to, to really get out into the multimedia space and broadcasting space is exciting for us and I think that's.
Why this partnership works really well, yeah, and it works so well and we're going to get to see this amazing announcement today, but for me it's kind of walking the walk.
We hear so much of tradfi meets Defi and a lot of aspiration around that.
But I think, you know, we have the chance of really being the bridge to communities, right, and creating those conversations and narratives and helping move things to action.
Yeah, 100%.
I think.
We assume that a lot of people know about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and blockchain, but the truth is we're still at a very nascent stage and people need high quality information.
They need education.
They need to be helped along this journey, whether it's buying your first small amount of Bitcoin or trying to figure out what blockchain you want to do to bring real-world assets, uh, onto a blockchain network.
And Coin Telegraph has prided itself on, on doing fantastic news and, and really great educational content.
And uh to be a part of you know, with FinTech TV broadcasting from the New York Stock Exchange, plugging into the old guard and bringing the two together is kind of how I see this going, and I'm super excited to be a part of that, to be honest.
Well, you know, you give me this visual when we think about the great privilege that we have.
There's only 5 studios to have a full-time position at the New York Stock Exchange, FinTech TV being one of those.
So a bit of the juxtaposition, if you would, of, you know, the most iconic exchange in the world that is so innovative and we get to have these. and extending that and amplifying through coin Telegraph and it's not only I'd say the editorial prowess that you bring forward, but it's the amount of content that you generate, the education and awareness, because I think it's still very early days where people are still learning about what's the difference between Bitcoin and blockchain and then the stories and the innovators that disruptions throughout.
So just a beautiful marriage.
Yeah, yeah, it really is, and I think for us.
You know, tapping into what your guys, uh, you, your team is doing, uh, getting access to the network that you have as an individual and FinTech TV at the New York Stock Exchange is amazing for us and we hope that we can tap into that web to audience and that, that, uh, base of knowledge, um, and, and, you know, leaders in the industry that you have.
And we hope that we can bring our network of, of, uh, industry leaders, um, advertisers, those sort of thing, and, and bring them together. in this partnership.
So we're really excited to get the content that you're doing on our platforms.
I'm sure you're excited to get the content we're doing on your platforms, and I'm excited to see where this goes.
Absolutely.
And as we close out, Gareth, I really think that's a great shout out.
Hey, look, look for co-production deals that we're going to be doing together, joint sponsorship conferences, come talk to us.
We're going to have a lot of fun together.
Yeah, 100%.
Thanks, Vince.
Gareth, thanks to you and the team.
It's going to be exciting.
Cheers.
