Decentralized media startup Coinage has announced that it received honors in the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing’s (SABEW) Best in Business Awards, placing it in the same winner cohort as major legacy outlets such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. SABEW’s Best in Business Awards are among the most recognized prizes in business journalism, with the contest drawing hundreds of entries each year from leading news organizations worldwide. While SABEW’s public materials emphasize larger institutions like Bloomberg, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal among top winners, Coinage’s own announcement highlights that its work was recognized alongside those organizations in the 2025 award cycle, underscoring growing institutional recognition for Web3-native and decentralized media efforts. The award context is significant: SABEW’s Best in Business program has become a benchmark for quality in financial and economic reporting, with categories spanning story type, topic, and general excellence across small, medium, and large newsrooms. The 2025 contest (covering 2024 work) attracted nearly a thousand entries from about 150 outlets, reflecting intense competition and the relative rarity of smaller or emerging organizations winning recognition against global incumbents. Coinage’s selection signals that decentralized, crypto-focused journalism is maturing and can meet mainstream editorial standards, at a time when crypto markets, regulation, and industry failures have made rigorous, independent coverage a priority for both retail and institutional audiences.
