 * Weak delete. Coverage seems to be mostly reprints/rewrites of press releaes and business-as-usual reports (product/company got launched, has some sales, exists...). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:24, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is mostly press release reprints about the fact of having launched. Even the proper articles just say "this exists". Not convinced this meeds WP:CORPDEPTH - David Gerard (talk) 12:48, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The Bloomberg cite is a funding round, which isn't sufficient for WP:CORPDEPTH - David Gerard (talk) 00:09, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Needs a wider variety of sources, too much from what might be one press release. Lirazelf (talk) 16:42, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep There is some very recent news on this. I added a sentence and 3 new citations, including Bloomberg and Entrepreneur, hence I believe that these can be considered significant coverage. Also, Coinbase has become an investor in them.Webmaster862 (talk) 00:10, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Entrepreneur has been noted as a questionable source at WP:RSN - David Gerard (talk) 13:22, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Media coverage on license from Central Bank of Bahrain and recent fundraise makes gives it notability. ScrupulousScribe (talk) 11:21, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Fundraising rounds do not count for notability under WP:NCORP - David Gerard (talk) 13:21, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV, WP:OR, and WP:TOOSOON. It is clear consensus that financial reports and government license entries are not "substantial coverage". Essentially, this is origianl research. It may just be too soon for an article. Bearian (talk) 20:51, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not seeing a lot of news coverage even amongst crypto news sites, let alone what we would consider WP:RS. It seems like this topic is just not ripe yet for an article and may need to be revisited if additional coverage comes along. HocusPocus00 (talk) 15:06, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per David Gerard, I don't think there are enough sources to expand this for the layman reader. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:32, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
