Meet your host

Jacquelyn Melinek

Before Talking Tokens, Jacquelyn led crypto coverage at TechCrunch as a senior crypto reporter. She broke major news, covered many exclusives and stayed on top of the pulse of the industry — while making strong professional connections along the way.

She also hosted an award-nominated, 'Top 50 Tech' podcast focused on crypto. So, it's safe to say she knows a thing or two about covering this industry in an easy-to-understand way. In April 2024, she joined forces with long-time entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano to co-found 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.

Talking Tokens will exist within Token Relations' products, but brings an independent, fresh perspective to the crypto space as the journalist-turned-entrepreneur helps listeners learn more about hot trends, companies and what matters in the web3 world.
