Cryptocurrency, blockchain, and finance by Grégory Raymond

Grégory Raymond is a French crypto journalist and co-founder of The Big Whale, a leading independent publication dedicated to digital assets. Serving as Head of Research, Raymond curates editorial strategy and leads investigative work that reaches a growing base of over 70,000 newsletter subscribers and 85,000 Twitter followers. In 2025, he published Bitcoin Cryptos, l’enjeu du siècle, a widely read book on the economic and political impact of cryptocurrencies in Europe. His newsletter 21 Millions analyzes market trends, regulatory shifts, and token economics with weekly circulation across France’s crypto investor base.

Raymond has brought attention to data privacy concerns in crypto publishing, most recently exposing a targeted phishing campaign using forged versions of The Big Whale branding to promote fake token offerings. That disclosure followed an email data breach that compromised contacts across several French crypto outlets. Investigative work on these breaches reached over 120,000 readers and prompted response measures by multiple platforms. Raymond also contributes to policy discussions, analyzing France’s approach to stablecoin licensing and MiCA implementation. As one of the few French journalists deeply embedded in crypto infrastructure reporting, Raymond is viewed as a reliable media reference for investors, developers, and regulators tracking blockchain adoption across francophone markets.
