Problem
The CEO asked to turn the homepage into a product showcase. It had 5.6M visits against 77M on the news section, and heatmaps showed the products the company had built were invisible: the promo button in the hero got zero clicks
- 77M visits to the news section
- 5.6M visits to the homepage

Users
Existing research plus new interviews showed two groups with almost nothing in common
The Beginner
Overwhelmed by crypto. Needs structure and a calm place to start
The Active Trader
Scans headlines fast. If something isn't immediately visible, it doesn't exist

CusDev results: 1:1 interviews and survey
Idea
Readers scan headlines the way they scroll Twitter. So the homepage became an infinite news feed with product blocks woven in between: the content they already want, with the rest of the ecosystem surfacing as they scroll

Iteration
Version 1 kept the homepage and the feed as separate pages. In testing, users still skipped the homepage. So we merged them: the homepage became the feed
