To build a crypto news site, aggregate two content layers in Ingestics: RSS feeds from crypto publications for the news, and a price API like CoinGecko for the market data beside it. Both run through one provider pipeline in WordPress, and from Lite upward the whole site publishes itself around the clock — which matters in a market that never closes.

This is the site build. If you only want the price feed, the mechanics live in importing cryptocurrency prices.

What content architecture does a crypto news site need?

Plan three layers before adding any provider:

  1. News — imported from crypto publication RSS feeds, categorized (Bitcoin, DeFi, Regulation, NFTs).
  2. Market data — a price provider feeding a tracker section or ticker, updating on its own faster schedule.
  3. Analysis — your own posts, or AI-summarized digests on Business. This layer is what differentiates you from every other aggregator.

Separate categories per layer keep templates and schedules clean.

How do you add the crypto news feeds?

In Ingestics → Providers, add one RSS provider per publication — CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Decrypt, The Block, and most crypto outlets publish standard feeds, plus niche newsletters and project blogs. On Lite, RSS auto-discovery finds feed URLs, presets speed setup, and source folders group feeds by beat.

Category each feed to your structure. Full-text extraction (Lite) can complete truncated items — use it only where the source permits reuse; otherwise import the teaser, keep the attribution block on, and send the click to the outlet.

How do you add the price data layer?

One API provider on CoinGecko’s free, keyless markets endpoint returns your whole coin list in a single call. Map name, price, and 24h change; schedule it every 15–30 minutes (independent of the news feeds’ cadence); on Pro, the Advanced Sync Engine updates each coin’s post in place so the tracker never accumulates duplicates. Business adds a ticker layout for a scrolling price strip.

How do you filter a noisy niche?

Crypto media is thick with sponsored churn and token shilling. Controls by tier:

  • Source discipline (all tiers) — a shortlist of reputable outlets beats a long list of aggregator feeds.
  • Content filters (Pro) — keyword rules dropping “sponsored”, “press release”, and pump-language items before they publish.
  • Moderation queue (Pro) — new or unproven feeds land as pending until an editor clears them.
  • Blocked keywords + full 14-rule filter engine (Business) — scam-token and brand-safety lists at scale.

Publish-mode-per-provider makes a hybrid model easy: trusted outlets auto-publish, everything else is moderated.

How do you prevent duplicate coverage of big stories?

An ETF approval or exchange collapse hits every feed within minutes. Duplicate detection (all tiers) keys on source URL with title safeguards, so syndicated repeats collapse to one post; near-duplicates from different outlets are the moderation queue’s call. This is also the argument for few, well-chosen feeds.

Can AI turn imports into original digests?

On Business, yes — with your own keys. AI rewrite (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenRouter) can summarize imported items into house style, translation can produce multilingual editions, and editorial suggestions assist your own analysis layer. Treat AI output as drafts for review, not auto-published content — the workflow guidance is in the AI content automation guide. Crypto is volatile and money-adjacent: a human eye before publish is not optional.

How should everything be scheduled?

  • Price provider: every 15–30 minutes (Lite cron; Pro custom frequencies).
  • Major news feeds: hourly.
  • Niche feeds and blogs: every 3–6 hours.

Lite’s rotation spreads fetches; Business separates API and RSS schedules entirely. Health monitoring (Lite) and failure digests (Pro) tell you when a feed dies — crypto outlets fold and rebrand often.

Add a visible timestamp to every price display and label news as aggregated with attribution. Crypto readers are burned-audience skeptics: freshness signals and honest sourcing are your credibility — and none of it is financial advice, so say so.

How do you assemble the homepage?

News lands as categorized posts, so a magazine theme carries the editorial layer. Lite’s [auto_api_feed] shortcode, block, and grid layout place the market strip: price grid or Business ticker up top, latest news below, category rails for Bitcoin/DeFi/Regulation. Shortcode reference in the documentation.

Which Ingestics tier does this build need?

  • Free — 2 news feeds + 1 price provider, manual fetch. The prototype.
  • Lite — the launch floor: scheduling, rotation, full-text, folders, display output, 20 providers.
  • Pro — filters, moderation queue, price sync-in-place, custom frequencies.
  • Business — AI digests and translation, ticker layout, blocked keywords, unlimited sources.

The general pattern is the multi-source aggregator architecture; single-source depth is the NewsAPI build. More automated publishing workflows are on the use cases hub.

Can a crypto news site run automatically in WordPress?
Yes. Ingestics imports crypto publication RSS feeds and a price API through one pipeline, publishing on independent schedules from the Lite tier up — around the clock, like the market.
How is this different from a crypto price tracker?
A tracker is one data feed. This build layers aggregated news, categorization, filtering, and optionally AI digests around the prices — a publication, not a widget.
How do I keep scammy or sponsored content out?
Curate reputable feeds first, then use Pro content filters and the moderation queue; Business adds blocked keywords and the full 14-rule filter engine.
Can AI write my crypto news summaries?
On Business, AI rewrite via your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenRouter key can draft summaries of imported items. Review before publishing — crypto content demands human oversight.
