The desk
Analysts and reporters
Every research note on CryptoxInsights carries a named writer. These are the people behind them, the beats they cover and how they verify what they publish.
Daniel leads CryptoxInsights' real-world-asset desk, where he audits reserve statements, custody structures and mining licences behind tokenised commodities. He has spent nine years covering gold-backed issuance and African mining finance, and has reviewed licence filings under Uganda's Mining and Minerals Act 2022.
Anya edits CryptoxInsights' research output and sets the publication's verification standards. She previously covered emerging-market commodity finance and now specialises in how mining and energy issuers move physical collateral on-chain.
Marcus tracks digital-asset market structure, ETF flows and listed crypto equities, with a focus on how spot products reprice the underlying assets.

Lena analyses institutional allocation into digital assets, including tokenised treasuries, money-market funds and commodity-backed instruments.
