Our Commitment to Editorial Integrity
TCG Tokenization is committed to producing accurate, balanced, and analytically rigorous content. Our editorial policy governs all published material across the platform, including analysis articles, market intelligence reports, compliance guides, and data presentations. Every member of our editorial team adheres to these standards without exception.
Sources and Research Methodology
All content published on TCG Tokenization is sourced from verifiable, authoritative origins. Our primary source categories include:
Official Government and Regulatory Publications — including documents from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), and national financial regulatory bodies. Regulatory analysis is based on published legal text, official guidance documents, and regulatory agency communications.
Institutional Research — including reports from McKinsey Global Institute, Deloitte, the World Economic Forum, the Bank for International Settlements, the International Monetary Fund, and established financial research organizations. We prioritize original research over secondary reporting.
On-Chain Data — including transaction records, smart contract data, and wallet activity verified through blockchain explorers and analytics platforms such as Dune Analytics, RWA.xyz, DexScreener, and chain-native explorers. On-chain data is cryptographically verifiable and represents our highest-confidence quantitative source.
Platform Disclosures — including official announcements, documentation, audit reports, and public financial filings from tokenization platforms, blockchain networks, custody providers, and grading services. We verify platform claims against on-chain data wherever possible.
Peer-Reviewed and Industry Research — including academic papers, industry association publications, and research from established financial data providers such as CoinGecko, Messari, and The Block.
Fact-Checking Process
Our fact-checking methodology involves multi-source verification for all quantitative claims. Specific data points — trading volumes, market capitalizations, token prices, and growth rates — are verified against at least two independent sources before publication. On-chain data takes precedence over self-reported platform statistics in cases of discrepancy. Material factual claims are reviewed by at least one additional editorial team member before publication.
Statistical projections and forward-looking estimates are clearly attributed to their source and presented with appropriate context regarding methodology and uncertainty. We do not present projections as established facts.
Update Frequency
Content on TCG Tokenization is maintained on a structured review cycle. Market data and volume figures are updated as new reports are published by authoritative sources. Analytical articles are reviewed quarterly to ensure accuracy against current market conditions. Regulatory analysis is updated within two weeks of significant regulatory developments in covered jurisdictions. Pillar content is comprehensively reviewed and updated at least semi-annually.
All updated articles carry a visible "Last Updated" date. Significant updates that change the substance of an article's conclusions are noted in a revision history.
Correction Policy
We are committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently. When a factual error is identified — whether by our editorial team, a reader, or an external party — the correction process is as follows:
Minor corrections (typographical errors, broken links, formatting issues) are corrected immediately without a formal correction notice. Material corrections (factual inaccuracies that affect the substance of an analysis) are corrected with a dated correction notice appended to the article, clearly identifying what was changed and why. Significant corrections (errors that fundamentally alter an article's conclusions or recommendations) are corrected with a prominent correction notice at the top of the article, and the original incorrect text is preserved in a revision history for transparency.
Readers are encouraged to report errors to editorial@tcgtokenization.com. We commit to reviewing all reported errors within 48 hours and publishing corrections where warranted within 72 hours.
Editorial Independence
TCG Tokenization maintains complete editorial independence from all commercial entities covered on the platform. No content published on our platform is influenced by advertisers, sponsors, affiliate partners, or any commercial relationship. Our revenue model — which includes programmatic advertising (Google AdSense), affiliate relationships, and newsletter subscriptions — is structured to ensure that editorial decisions are made independently of commercial considerations.
Specifically: no advertiser or sponsor has the ability to review, edit, approve, or influence editorial content before publication. No affiliate partner receives preferential coverage or analysis. No platform, token project, or service provider featured in our coverage has any editorial input into how they are covered. Our editorial team makes coverage decisions based solely on relevance, significance, and reader value.
Disclosure Policy
Transparency about potential conflicts of interest is central to our editorial integrity. Our disclosure commitments include:
Financial Interests: Any material financial interest held by editorial team members in tokens, platforms, or companies covered on the platform is disclosed in the relevant article or on the author's profile page. "Material" is defined as any holding exceeding $1,000 in value or any relationship that could reasonably be perceived as influencing editorial judgment.
Affiliate Relationships: Links to platforms or services that generate affiliate commissions are disclosed. Affiliate relationships never influence editorial recommendations, coverage decisions, or analytical conclusions.
Advertising: TCG Tokenization generates revenue through Google AdSense programmatic advertising. Ad placements are managed algorithmically and do not reflect editorial endorsement of the advertised products or services.
Sponsorships: Any sponsored content — which we do not currently publish but may consider in the future — would be clearly and prominently labeled as sponsored and segregated from editorial content.
