Meet the host: Jacquelyn Melinek

Jacquelyn is the Founder and CEO of Token Relations and host of Talking Tokens podcast and Crypto in America podcast.

In April 2024, she launched Token Relations, a company that helps blockchains and crypto projects better communicate with their ecosystems by diving into top metrics, product releases, insights and more. All in one place.

While Talking Tokens exists within Token Relations' products, it brings independent, editorially-driven operations with fresh perspectives to the crypto space as the journalist-turned-entrepreneur helps listeners learn more about hot trends, companies and what matters in the web3 world.

In a past life, Jacquelyn led crypto coverage as a senior crypto reporter at TechCrunch and was the host of an award-nominated ‘Top 50 Tech’ podcast, Chain Reaction (which has been rebranded to Talking Tokens.)

Prior to that, she was a crypto reporter for Blockworks where she focused on covering DeFi, DAOs and crypto VC funding. She also reported on energy markets for S&P Global Platts and Bloomberg News.

Her articles are published in over 100 global news outlets and she's been a featured guest on CNBC Worldwide Exchange, CBS News Prime Time and Yahoo Finance Live for her crypto coverage and analysis.
