Fake “Cointelegraph” accounts are scamming crypto users. Learn how to spot impostors, verify identities and stay protected in 2025. If you’re a tier-1 crypto media sales representative in 2025, chances are you have an impersonator. These are often fake Telegram, X or LinkedIn accounts offering “Tier-1 PR” to unsuspecting businesses, only to share a personal USDT wallet address when it’s time to pay. Cointelegraph has seen plenty of such cases. In October 2025 alone, a Telegram profile styled as “Tobias Vilkenson | Cointelegraph” messaged BNB Chain to “set up a time to chat and feature BNB Chain in a Cointelegraph article,” linking to an X account under the same name with more than 6,000 followers. It’s a textbook impostor play: borrowing a newsroom’s credibility, promising coverage and moving targets into private direct messages (DMs) where the scam continues. Read more

Cointelegraph presents “The Fight for Ethereum’s Soul,” a documentary on the future of the smart contract blockchain protocol. Ethereum went live 10 years ago, bringing programmability and composability to a technological innovation sparked by the advent of Bitcoin in 2009. But what does the future of Ethereum hold? It’s a loaded question that is incredibly difficult to answer given the complexity and decentralized nature of the world’s pioneering smart-contract blockchain protocol. Cointelegraph recently traveled to EthCC in Cannes to speak to the brightest minds in the Ethereum community about its current state and the future of the protocol amid the rise of highly competitive next-generation layer-1 blockchains.
