The DeFi and Web3 news desk: newsletter, site and channel
The Defiant is a DeFi-native news organization founded by financial journalist Camila Russo, curating and analyzing the major developments in Web3 and decentralized finance. Its YouTube channel had around 130,000 subscribers as of August 2026, on top of its site and newsletter.
Unlike creator-led channels, this is a newsroom: daily coverage, research and interviews with builders across DeFi, NFTs and infrastructure, with the newsletter as its flagship product.
It monetizes as media: sponsorships and media partnerships, declared in its content, plus premium subscriptions. Readers, subscribers and viewers can review the quality of that coverage here.
