What happened to Teeka Tiwari is a story of firing, reinvention, and an unusual dual-publisher arrangement. He has been one of the most recognizable names in financial newsletter publishing for nearly a decade. If you searched his name in 2023, you found a marquee editor at Palm Beach Research Group, part of MarketWise’s Legacy Research Group division, pitching crypto and tech plays to hundreds of thousands of subscribers. If you search his name in 2026, the picture is different and more complicated. He was fired, started his own company, launched a new newsletter, and is now appearing in campaigns run by Paradigm Press, an Agora-network publisher that had no prior relationship with him.

Here is the timeline, sourced from public filings, press releases, and his own published statements.

The Firing: What Happened to Teeka Tiwari in February 2024

MarketWise wound down Legacy Research Group in February 2024, cutting 104 jobs. The proximate cause was an SEC enforcement action against Legacy analyst Jonathan Mikula, charged under Section 17(b) of the Securities Act for undisclosed payment for touting. Tiwari was not personally charged in the Mikula case. But the entire Legacy division was shut down, and Tiwari’s employment was terminated as part of the wind-down. This was the same MarketWise that would later report Q2 2026 earnings showing the company’s recovery — but the Legacy division was a casualty of the 2024 restructuring.

MarketWise subsequently sued Tiwari over his use of the Legacy customer list, alleging he took subscriber data to launch a competing service. The litigation is a matter of public record. Tiwari has stated publicly that he was “suddenly removed from the world’s largest and most trusted crypto research service” in February 2024, which is consistent with the Legacy wind-down timeline.

Tiwari Research Group: April 2024

Tiwari did not stay sidelined for long. In April 2024, he founded Tiwari Research Group and launched his first publication, Digital Asset Daily, a free crypto-focused newsletter. The company is based in Puerto Rico, where Tiwari relocated. His LinkedIn profile lists the founding date as March 2024, with the first publication following in April.

Digital Asset Daily was a free newsletter aimed at rebuilding the audience Tiwari lost when Legacy shut down. It was the first step toward a paid product line that arrived later in the year.

The Asymmetric Edge: December 2025

Tiwari’s first paid product under the Tiwari Research Group banner was The Asymmetric Edge, a monthly research service launched in December 2025. The welcome post on the service’s website is dated December 23, 2025. The product pitches a “stock replacement strategy” focused on legacy blue-chip companies that benefit from AI infrastructure spending without building it themselves. The price is $99 per year for the first year.

The Asymmetric Edge is hosted at two domains: theasymmetricedge.com and bigtasymmetricedge.com. The copyright notice on both sites reads “2026 Tiwari Research Group,” confirming the entity is the publisher.

The product has been actively promoted through 2026. Green Bull Research, a teaser-solving site, has reviewed multiple Asymmetric Edge campaigns, including the “Nvidia Paycheck Program” pitch (which teased a retail, fintech, and pharma blue-chip basket) and the “Final AI Shakeout” pitch (which teased semiconductor, storage, mining, and industrial-equipment suppliers). Both campaigns direct subscribers to The Asymmetric Edge.

The Paradigm Press Connection: July 2026

In July 2026, a GlobeNewswire press release was detected promoting a “Teeka Tiwari Crypto Catch Up Event” published under the Paradigm Press brand. Paradigm Press is an Agora-network publisher. It had no prior published relationship with Tiwari. His previous employers were Tycoon Publishing (sold to Agora in 2011) and MarketWise’s Legacy Research Group. Paradigm is a different Agora imprint entirely.

This means Tiwari is now operating on two tracks simultaneously. He is running his own independent publisher, Tiwari Research Group, with The Asymmetric Edge as its flagship paid product. And he is appearing in campaigns run by Paradigm Press, presumably as a featured guru rather than a staff editor. The exact nature of the Paradigm relationship, whether it is a licensing deal, a revenue share, or a guest-editor arrangement, has not been publicly disclosed.

What This Means for Subscribers

If you were a Palm Beach Confidential or Palm Beach Research Group subscriber who was transitioned to credits when Legacy shut down, you are not getting those services back. The brands are gone. The subscriber lists were the subject of litigation. Tiwari’s new work is available through two separate channels: his own Tiwari Research Group products, and whatever Paradigm Press campaigns feature his name.

The Asymmetric Edge at $99 per year is a fraction of the cost of Tiwari’s former high-ticket products like Palm Beach Confidential, which ran into the thousands. The Paradigm Press campaigns, based on the detection log, are free presentations that direct viewers into Paradigm’s own paid products rather than Tiwari Research Group services. Read the fine print on any Teeka-branded pitch to see which entity is billing you.

The Undisclosed DeFi Tie

One detail from the Legacy departure that deserves mention: Tiwari had an undisclosed relationship with DeFi Technologies, a public company, during his tenure at Legacy. This was not part of the SEC’s Mikula case, but it was reported in the trade press and is part of the background context for his firing. Tiwari has not publicly addressed the DeFi relationship in his new venture’s marketing materials. The Tiwari Research Group website does not mention it.

Where to Find Him Now

  • Tiwari Research Group: tiwariresearchgroup.com (Digital Asset Daily, free)
  • The Asymmetric Edge: theasymmetricedge.com (paid, $99/yr first year)
  • Paradigm Press campaigns: detectable via GlobeNewswire press releases and Paradigm’s email list

The man who built his brand on crypto picks at Palm Beach is now pitching AI blue-chips through his own company and crypto events through an Agora imprint. The audience is different. The price points are lower. The dual-publisher arrangement is unusual in this industry, where gurus typically operate under one roof. Whether the two tracks converge or diverge is a story still being written.
