Cointelegraph denied the rumors of a sale, stating that CoinDesk's report contains false information

According to a previous report by CoinDesk, the crypto media outlet Cointelegraph is seeking new buyers due to a significant decline in recent traffic data. Cointelegraph issued a statement through its official X account on October 8, stating that the report contains false information and multiple factual errors, and asserted that it will not sell and will not remain silent.

The statement criticized CoinDesk for attracting readers through controversy and sensationalism, claiming that such practices undermine journalistic credibility, and questioned whether its publisher is trading sensational headlines for commercial gain. Cointelegraph demanded that CoinDesk publicly acknowledge its mistakes and provide corrections with equal exposure to the original content, emphasizing that credibility stems from accuracy and accountability, not sensationalism.
