Priya Rao

Priya Rao is the Markets Editor at TheWeal, leading daily coverage of price action, liquidity, volatility and the macro backdrop that moves crypto. She has worked in and around markets since 2014, with a background spanning trading-desk research and financial reporting across Asia. From Singapore she tracks how global liquidity, rates and the dollar feed through to digital-asset prices, and she owns TheWeal's market-regime framing — the bull, base and bear context that frames the site's prediction scenarios. Priya is happiest with a chart and a question: what changed, who is positioned for it, and what would have to be true for the consensus to be wrong. She is firm that a forecast is only honest when its assumptions are on the page, which is why every prediction surface she edits carries its inputs and a last-updated timestamp. She holds the line that TheWeal reports probabilities and scenarios, never promises, and that 'not financial advice' is a standard the newsroom lives by, not a footer.
