FYI a sizable percentage of America owns some amount of crypto - depending on the study, anywhere from 8%-20% - that's more than $100 bills in wallets, which is ~5% of Americans. Only if you include ETFs and mutual funds can you claim this about AT&T stock.

I’m not sure what your point is. Journalists can hold mutual funds and ETFs without being in conflict of interest.

Since a journalist writing about crypto currency can have direct impact on that coin’s value, they are ethically bound to not write about coins the hold. Just like direct holdings of stock.

When SEC approves crypto ETFs that's great until then Americans are rolling their own from direct holdings.

And, again, journalists writing about crypto should avoid doing that until there is an actual “etf for crypto”.
