A new voice in crypto coverage for gaming, tokens, NFTs and more has arrived.
This afternoon, we’re officially launching The Drop, a newsletter delivered Monday through Friday with the latest news, analysis and more from the crypto ecosystems’ buzziest apps, games and tokens.
As we shared when we first acquired The Drop brand back in October from founder Gannon Breslin, our goal here is to focus on what I like to call the “application layer” of crypto.
This is the diverse, buzzy and occasionally messy ecosystem comprising games, NFTs, SocialFi and other areas. It’s where the users are once they move beyond pure financial use cases — and The Drop is focused squarely on covering these daily comings and goings.
Get started by subscribing for our launch issue, set to debut later today.
The Drop is led by Kate Irwin, a veteran crypto journalist, whose previous stints at PCMag and Decrypt give her a unique window into this rapidly changing corner of crypto.
Keep an eye out for daily missives on what’s driving the narratives and markets, as well as X Spaces with key movers and shakers. You can expect more of these sorts of events from the Blockworks news team as a whole.

Since last spring, Blockworks’ newsroom has pursued a newsletter-first strategy with the intended goal of delivering journalism beyond the article-based model pursued by our peers in the market.
It’s not just pure information; our approach combines news, analysis and perspective to help you understand what’s happening in crypto today as it swiftly evolves, sometimes by the hour.
The Drop is the next step in a continuing experiment in crypto journalism. We hope you’ll join us not only for The Drop, but our other newsletters as well — Forward Guidance, Lightspeed, 0xResearch, Empire, the Daily — each hand-crafted and focused on a critical crypto niche.
But like crypto itself, we’re only getting started — stay tuned and thanks for reading.
