Cointelegraph denies sale report, calls CoinDesk article fake news

Cointelegraph denied it is up for sale after CoinDesk cited sources today in reporting that the rival outlet was being sold. In a statement posted on its official X account, Cointelegraph said it was not a sale target and argued the CoinDesk article was based on incorrect information and contained multiple factual errors. Cointelegraph said it welcomes verification and criticism, but would not stay silent when speculation is presented as fact. It also urged CoinDesk to correct the record, clearly acknowledge the errors, and give the correction the same prominence as the original report, while rejecting any quiet edits that make the initial story appear accurate.
