[Cointelegraph Responds Publicly to CoinDesk Sale Report: 'We Are Not for Sale'] According to a report by Jinse Finance on October 8, Cointelegraph issued an open letter via its official X account in response to a previous report by CoinDesk, explicitly stating, 'We are not for sale.' In the letter, Cointelegraph claimed that CoinDesk's report was 'based on false information and contained multiple factual errors.' The media outlet emphasized that while they welcome scrutiny, they will not remain silent when 'speculation is presented as fact.' Cointelegraph demanded that CoinDesk correct the record, explicitly acknowledge its errors, and provide the correction with the same level of exposure as the original report. They also opposed 'quietly altering wording and pretending the original report was accurate.' Previously, CoinDesk had reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed sources, that Cointelegraph was seeking buyers following a significant decline in search traffic, though it did not disclose the asking price or timeline for the sale. Cointelegraph did not address specific traffic data in its open letter.
