Pieter van Meer is a fintech journalist. His long-standing interest in open-source software and cryptographic systems brought him into the crypto space, where he found a natural focus in the technical and risk dimensions of decentralised finance.

At CryptoFox News, Pieter covers two closely related beats: the operational mechanics and governance of DeFi protocols, and the security incidents — hacks, exploits, rug pulls, and protocol failures — that continue to define the risk profile of the sector. He works to deliver timely, technically grounded reporting that gives readers a clear picture of what happened, how, and what it means for the broader ecosystem.

Pieter collaborates regularly with on-chain analysts and security researchers to ensure his incident reporting is factually rigorous and contextually sound. All content is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or legal advice.
