Crypto news briefing for the coins you actually follow
Crypto news never stops, and social feeds mix real updates with rumors and shilling. This prompt has your todo.is agent read reliable crypto and financial news every morning, focus on the coins you follow, note the 24-hour price moves and upcoming events like upgrades or token unlocks, and flag anything that looks like hype.
The prompt
- Send me a crypto news briefing every day at [TIME] on [WHERE TO SEND IT]. Focus on [COINS I FOLLOW]. For each coin, give the price and 24-hour change, and the 1 or 2 news items that explain the move, with source links. Then add: big market news (regulation, ETFs, exchange problems, hacks), and upcoming events in the next 7 days such as network upgrades, token unlocks or court dates. Use established news sites and official project blogs. Mark anything that is only a rumor or a single social media post. Keep it under [LENGTH]. No buy or sell advice.
What to change
- [TIME]: e.g. "7:00". Crypto trades 24/7, so pick a time you will read it.
- [WHERE TO SEND IT]: Telegram, WhatsApp, email, Slack or Discord.
- [COINS I FOLLOW]: e.g. "Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Chainlink". Add stablecoins if you hold them.
- [LENGTH]: e.g. "300 words" or "what I can read in 2 minutes".

crypto news briefing: FAQ
- What is the best way to keep up with crypto news? Follow a short list of coins, read established news sites and official project blogs, and separate confirmed news from social media rumors. A daily briefing does that filtering for you.
- Can the briefing tell me what to buy or sell? No. It summarizes news and events with sources. For investment decisions, do your own research or talk to a licensed financial adviser.
- Can it alert me about big price moves during the day? Yes. Add a rule such as "check every hour and message me if ETH moves more than 7%". Each check uses some AI credits.
- Does it connect to my exchange or wallet? No, it does not need to. Just tell it which coins you follow.
