• Comment: A crypto company with barely a year of trading is highly unlikely to meet the requirement for corporate depth, it's borderline Reject territory. See WP:SIRS and the two sections below on corporate depth and corporate trivia. One source, coindesk, should not be used at all, it's not reliable. Funding/unicorn is totally corporate trivia, which just leaves Stabledash. In content it's heading towards corporate depth, but the source is at best a promotional platform, it's some way from being the Financial Times or Wall Street Journal.
