About Forbes
What Forbes covers and who reads it
Forbes is one of the most recognized business publications in the world, with a global audience of more than 150 million monthly readers. The crypto vertical (Forbes Crypto, plus contributions across Forbes' broader business coverage) covers Bitcoin, Ethereum, market analysis, regulation, and major Web3 stories. A Forbes placement signals legitimacy in a way few other outlets can match, especially with mainstream business audiences, banks, and traditional investors. Forbes also has a contributor network that publishes long-form features, opinion pieces, and how-to content, which can be a strong complement to a hard news placement. Coverage on Forbes tends to be cited heavily by other media and shows up prominently in branded search results, which adds long-term reputational value. Forbes sits in the Mintfunnel guaranteed-placement network. Crypto projects can lock in coverage without pitching the editorial team or running a campaign of cold outreach.
