FAQs

Questions, answered.

What Northtape is, how the AI summaries stay honest, and where the data comes from.

What is Northtape?

Northtape is a free AI market desk for crypto, fintech, blockchain and regulation news. It aggregates headlines from 12 sources, shows live prices for the top 100 assets by market cap, and generates AI summaries and a daily brief where every claim is tied back to a cited source article. Browsing needs no account; a free account adds a personal watchlist, alerts, a personalised brief and an AI chat analyst.

Is Northtape free to use?

Yes. Northtape is completely free, with no paid tier and no card required. You can read the news feed, AI summaries and live markets without signing in. Creating a free account only unlocks personalisation — your watchlist, keyword alerts, personalised brief and the chat analyst.

How reliable are Northtape's AI news summaries?

Each AI summary is grounded in the source article, not paraphrased from memory. Every summary can include two to four short quotes, and each quote is checked on the server against the original article text — any quote that is not an exact match is dropped before you see it. So the citations under a summary are verifiable against the source, rather than plausible-sounding guesses.

Where does Northtape's news come from, and how fresh is it?

News is aggregated from 12 sources across crypto, DeFi, stablecoins, regulation and fintech, including Cointelegraph, CoinDesk, Decrypt, Bitcoin Magazine and coverage of the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Sources are ordered by editorial credibility, and the feed refreshes every five minutes. Each article links back to its original publisher.

Is Northtape financial advice, and is it regulated?

No. Northtape is informational only and nothing on it is financial advice. It is not a broker, exchange, wallet, custodian, investment adviser or trading-signal provider, and it is not licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore or any other regulator. Sentiment tags describe the tone of an article, not a recommendation to buy or sell.

What is the Risk Radar?

The Risk Radar is a live view of four standing risk lenses built from the same news feed: regulatory moves, exchange and custodian stress, stablecoin health, and on-chain protocol risk. Each lens shows the latest matching headlines and a count of how many related stories broke in the last 48 hours — an activity level, not a predictive risk score.

Does Northtape cover Singapore and the wider APAC region?

Yes. Northtape takes a Singapore and APAC-first view, tracking regional regulation such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore's framework alongside global developments like the EU's MiCA and US enforcement. Its stablecoin and regulation coverage is built for readers who need the Asian regulatory picture, not only the US one.
