Regulation Reporter | Institutional Crypto Journalist | Power & Policy Analyst Felix van Dijk is a European crypto journalist whose work focuses on regulation, institutional behavior, and the centers of power that shape digital-asset markets. At TheCCPress, he covers regulators, exchanges, policy conflicts, and the institutional side of crypto adoption, with a preference for stories where law, legitimacy, and market structure collide. His writing is built for readers who want more than surface-level updates and need a clearer view of who holds influence and how that influence is exercised. “In crypto, regulation is rarely just about rules. It is about who gets legitimacy, who gets access, and who gets to define the market on acceptable terms.” Profile - Gender: Male - Born: December 1987 - Based: Amsterdam, Netherlands - Company: TheCCPress - Website: https://theccpress.com/ - Coverage Focus: Conflicts, power, regulators, exchanges, institutions, European crypto policy Experience Felix has spent more than a decade working across blockchain media, research, and policy-linked reporting. His strongest background is in explaining the overlap between adoption, regulation, and institutional strategy. At TheCCPress, that makes him a natural fit for stories about exchanges, legal friction, market legitimacy, and the organizations that shape the rules of participation. Background With training in media and technology and a career rooted in European crypto reporting, Felix brings a policy-literate, institution-aware perspective to the newsroom. He is less interested in short-term market noise than in understanding which actors are building durable influence and how regulatory pressure changes the balance of power. Achievements Felix’s best work tends to connect public policy with real market consequences. He is especially strong on stories where a regulatory change, exchange decision, or institutional move creates a wider conflict about control, compliance, or narrative dominance in crypto. Work Style He writes in a measured, research-led way and tends to frame stories around systems rather than isolated announcements. That makes him effective in categories where the article needs to explain a conflict clearly and show why a single company, regulator, or institution matters beyond one headline. Skills Felix’s core strengths include crypto regulation reporting, institutional analysis, exchange coverage, investigative framing, and editorial synthesis around power and policy. He is most valuable on stories that need both context and structural interpretation. Additional Information Within the new TheCCPress taxonomy, Felix is one of the clearest fits for conflicts/regulation, power/regulators, power/exchanges, and people/institutions. He helps anchor the site’s authority in questions of control, legitimacy, and institutional influence.
