Corrections
Every correction we make to a published story is listed here: what was wrong, what changed and when. We would rather be corrected than be wrong.
Our Standard
When we find or are told about a factual error, an editor fixes the story, adds a dated note at the top of the story saying what changed, and lists the change below. We do not quietly edit a number or a name after publication. Typos and formatting fixes that do not change the meaning are not listed.
Updates are handled differently from corrections. When an editor adds new information to a live Original, the story shows “Updated” with the date and, where one was given, a one-line reason. Only a correction of an error is listed in the log below.
AI summaries on the NewsDesk are corrected the same way. If a summary misrepresents the original story, or the outlet has since updated or withdrawn it, the summary is corrected, updated or removed.
Our glossary is held to the same standard. If a term’s meaning or example is wrong, tell us and an editor corrects the term and the date it was updated.
Report an Error
Write to contact@investin.news with the link to the story and what is wrong, ideally with a source. We aim to answer within 24 hours, and to fix a confirmed error within 24 hours. A fix can take a few minutes to show everywhere, because pages are briefly cached.

So the two months come from different trackers.”. | An earlier version said CryptoRank's 20% gain was measured against $510bn in August; that figure is WuBlockchain's, and CryptoRank's 20% rise is against its own August base (about $811bn). $973bn against $510bn would be a 91% rise. | |
