Crypto currency articles are notorious for referencing that looks acceptable, but does not withstand deeper scrutiny. This is WP:ADMASQ for an organisation that fails WP:CORP and is likely to be undisclosed paid editing. The creating editor's talk page is worth reading.

The article contained a copyvio image now deleted from Commons. While that is not unusual it adds to my conclusion that this passes the duck test as spam. With hindsight I might have rejected it at WP:AFC, to do that now is awkward. And it needs deletion anyway Fiddle   Faddle  15:37, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Just here to say that I agree that this looks like covert advertising/UPE (and cryptocurrency is an area where we see that a lot). I also note that there was a previous version of the draft by (who later requested the article be G7'd after it was rejected) - the two drafts aren't substantially similar (so I don't think that socking is afoot), but they both have the "smell" of UPE about them (refbombed with questionable sources, trivial puffery about the company's products and founders, that sort of thing).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
