Non-notable cryptocurrency exchange. All sourcing is currently pegged to RS. No sign that true RS has covered it beyond the fact that it stopped Yuan-Bitcoin trading (of which there does seem to be mainstream news coverage). This is not the sort of significant coverage necessary for an article. A large percentage of the current article is occupied by a "Controversy" section which again is sourced to cyrptocurrency specific sources and thus not RS.

Delete The cryptocurrency topic area is rife with promotionalism and fraud. We must insist on the highest quality of sources for such articles. This article is referenced exclusively to credulous promotional cryptocurrency "news" sites. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:29, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In case it wasn't clear from context the second sentence should read "All sourcing is currently pegged to non-RS." Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 05:34, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as cryptocurrency spam. BTW the OKEx article appears to be about the same company. It should be deleted as well. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 11:32, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
