As the crypto industry grows old and the public understanding is becoming more critical to adoption and regulation, pieces of opinion, often removed as hot lasting, emerging as strong tools in shaping the web3 narrative.
In the latest phase of Decentralized in cointelegraphWe sat with three insider voices to explore the emerging paper of opinion on Crypto Media: Cath Jenkin, Editor of Opinion on Cointelegraph; Nikki Brown, Chief Strategy Officer of Melrose PR; and Amal Ibraymi, legal advice on the Aztec Network.
Falling Op-Ed
The discussion features the growing strategic value of OP-EDs in crypto media-not just as vehicles for leadership of the mind but as instruments of influence.
According to Jenkin, the best pieces of opinion are arguments, “But you don’t really argue with someone, you argue with points, and sometimes people get a little confused.”
“You do not explain the state of the industry. You evaluate a major argument around the industry, and the more we apply critical thinking in our sector, the better we are building a community.”
The conversation also dives into the ethics of publishing opinions. What does the real thinking of leadership from the PROVIDE PROVIDE PROVIDE PROVIDED? How do editors vet for credibility, transparency, and long-term value in a world full of bomb pieces and token promotion?

For Brown, who advises founders and projects in public positioning, teaching clients and highlighting the value of the thinking leadership is critical.
“I think the value is good to hear the facts when it comes to the news, but sometimes we need a little help to understand what the repercussions will be or the next steps for how to apply a regulation in the real world.”
Opinions have an influence
The episode also explores how opinions directly influence the policy. Ibraymi reflects the increasing attention regulators paying the crypto narrative and how legal voices should help demonify complex issues for the public without much care.
“We know in a fact that many regulators are paying attention to these op-eds, even though some of the principals are not reading OP-EDs, their staff.”
Ibraymi emphasized the importance of OP-EDs in this situation, as political staff are the people who prepare memos and prepare early drafts for specific frameworks. “Even a publication doesn’t get much traction at first,” he said. “I found out that it would be worth it to just have it in your back pocket.”
Beyond the impact of the industry, the episode offers a reader’s guide for critical consuming op-eds: how to see bias, interpret credentials and engage in different perspectives in a healthy way.
At the forefront, guests will also weigh in the future of the Editorial voice on the web3. Will AI-Generated OP-EDS be a standard?
