Cons explained

• Potential bias After Milk Road was acquired by Coinbase, a big player on the crypto market, suspicions against potential bias emerged. Since Milk Road informs users about almost everything on the crypto market, a part of the crypto community thinks that it may be influenced or incentivised by Coinbase to endorse its offerings and highlight its products, interest and views. Some readers have questioned Milk Road’s objectivity and editorial freedom after being integrated within the Coinbase umbrella.

Following the Coinbase acquisition of Milk Road, the tool integrated Coinbase API, a service that enables developers to access Coinbase’s data. Milk Road takes advantage of Coinbase API to show live crypto charts, prices, and recent news.
