🚨PSA: Today is @TokenRelations' 2 year anniversary and the start of a new chapter. We’re rebranding our parent company to @StrataMedia_. When we launched in 2024, token issuers and crypto projects had momentum but lacked maturity. Token Relations set out to change that and bring structure, credibility, and consistency to how teams communicate with their communities and investors. At the time, even positioning ourselves around investor relations was controversial. Many teams avoided it altogether. But as the market evolved, so did the need. Some of the teams who dismissed us earlier came back to work with us under the new administration in 2025, because the environment was friendlier and they realized they needed this service. Today, Token Relations has become a stacked business with: - 130,000+ subscribers across 183 countries - 8.5M total views in 2025, up 280% year-over-year - 50+ leading crypto, TradFi, fintech, and VC firms subscribed to our investor updates Digital assets are a fundamental pillar of our business and we see even more opportunities to tap into as the market evolves. That is why we’re reorganizing under a new parent company to unite our work beneath a single vision as we expand. StrataMedia brings together our brands: Token Relations, @_TalkingTokens, and @TheMarketRunup. Each serves a distinct role, but together they’re linked through a new category we’re building: strategy-driven media that moves financial markets. StrataMedia is a way for investors to get smarter and a way to educate a bigger market. Our products have been viewed by millions, caused token prices to shift, and has helped educate people on what they should pay attention to. In the coming months, we’ll be rolling out more initiatives aligned with our new mission to become the central communication hub and layer across traditional and digital financial markets. Thank you to everyone who has been with us so far, we continue to look to your support as we build for the next two, four, six, eight and ten years – and beyond.

The Market Runup is entering its next phase operating under @StrataMedia_ We’re now part of a broader media push alongside @TokenRelations and @_TalkingTokens — built to redefine how information, narratives, and capital move across crypto markets. We’re still focused on one thing: Breaking down the macro forces, flows, and infrastructure shaping this market — without the noise. But the platform just got bigger :) More access. More signal. More conversations that actually matter. Let’s run it📈
