We cover what moves markets.
Nothing else.
Crypto and markets news, selected by rules, written with AI and reviewed by one person.
Financial news analysis.
Automated, and honest about it.
HafidWatch is an automated news service covering crypto, macro and global markets. We monitor seven established outlets, pick the stories that matter most, and publish a short analysis of each one: what was reported, who said it, and what the numbers do and do not show. No hype, no clickbait and no price predictions. Short versions go to our social channels. The full article is on the blog.
Crypto
Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, DeFi, stablecoins and regulation. The developments that change something, not the daily noise.
Macro
Fed decisions, inflation, interest rates, the dollar and bond markets. The macro backdrop that crypto trades against.
Markets
ETF flows, liquidations, exchange activity and market structure. What the reported data shows, with the calculation spelled out.
Institutional
Asset managers, corporate treasuries, exchanges and regulators. Who filed, bought, approved or objected, and where that is documented.
An automated pipeline. Designed, maintained and reviewed by one person.
HafidWatch runs its own editorial pipeline. Every hour it reads seven outlets, scores each story with a fixed formula, and has an AI model write an article using only what the original report says. The founder writes and maintains the rules the system follows, and reviews every article after it is published.
Monitor
RSS feeds from Cointelegraph, Decrypt, CNBC, Blockworks, Bloomberg, Protos and CryptoSlate, checked every hour.
Score
Each story gets a score from 0 to 1 based on its source, topic, freshness and headline. Digests, opinion pieces and price predictions are filtered out. Only the top story moves on.
Write, check, publish
An AI model writes the article from the original report. Automated checks reject drafts that are thin or unsupported. The rest go to the blog and to Telegram, Discord, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook and Bluesky.
The Divergence Index
The Divergence Index compares the tone of mainstream financial media with the tone of crypto-native outlets, among the sources we monitor, on the same market. It shows when the two groups are telling different stories. It measures media tone. It is not a price forecast, and we have not yet published a study of how it relates to price.

We say what we are. Clearly.
Written by AI, reviewed by a person
Our articles are written by AI models from OpenAI, working from a single published report that we credit at the end of each article. HafidWatch does no reporting of its own. Automated checks reject drafts that are too thin or that add nothing to the original. Articles that pass are published automatically, and the founder reviews each one after publication. The details are in our AI & Automation Disclosure and Editorial Policy.
Affiliate relationships disclosed
We have affiliate relationships with Ledger, TradingView and NordVPN, and may earn a commission when you buy through our links. Affiliate links are disclosed where they appear. They do not influence which stories we cover.
Sponsored content labeled
When content is sponsored, it is labeled as sponsored. We do not publish advertising presented as editorial.
Corrections made publicly
When we get something wrong, we fix it and note the correction on the article. Articles that do not meet our standards are removed. See our Corrections Policy.
A person answers
Questions, corrections and complaints are read and answered by the founder. Contact us.
