About YAP Global

YAP Global is an international public relations and communications consultancy working with organisations in the cryptocurrency, decentralised finance (DeFi) and web3 sector. We help our clients build their brands through impactful storytelling.

Founded by a team of creative storytellers spread across the globe, our mission is simple: we tell stories that build trust.

We work with some of the most ambitious companies in crypto and web3, from DeFi protocols and stablecoin pioneers to institutional digital asset firms, tokenisation platforms and the developer infrastructure powering the next generation of onchain apps. We’re also a trusted media partner for the industry’s biggest global conferences, putting our team at the heart of the events where tens of thousands of founders, investors and builders come together to shape what’s next.
