NewsB is built to be legally clean. Our principle: use free, public-domain or openly-licensed data wherever possible; get explicit permission with attribution where a source asks for it; show third-party market prices only through display-only widgets under the provider’s own licence; and where a dataset is encumbered, publish our own derived/computed seriesrather than redistributing someone else’s. Market data is delayed and shown for information only.

How we handle the tricky parts

The areas where a data site can run into rights problems, and exactly how we avoid each:

• Stock / index prices (S&P 500, Nasdaq, individual equities)

  Index and equity price values are licensed IP. We never pull them into our own charts. Live prices appear ONLY inside TradingView's display-only widgets (their licence). For our own analysis charts we use a derived 'US Equity Market' index built from free academic data — not the branded S&P/Nasdaq.

• VIX

  We don't republish CBOE's VIX. We compute our own 30-day realized-volatility gauge from free market data instead.

• Corporate BTC holdings

  From HODL15 Capital with their permission and attribution — a maintained snapshot, not scraped.

• ETF flow data

  From Farside Investors with written permission and visible attribution.

• News

  Headlines, short extracts and links only — standard syndication. We never republish full articles or scrape paywalled text.

• FRED third-party series

  FRED hosts some series (S&P 500, NASDAQ, VIX) under the index owners' copyright. We use only the genuinely public-domain government series and avoid the copyrighted ones.

• Social media

  We do not scrape X/Twitter or other platforms.

We source in good faith and keep this page current. If you are a rights-holder and believe something is misattributed or shouldn’t be shown, contact us and we’ll correct or remove it promptly. Nothing here is investment advice — see the Disclaimer.
