Omise hits out at The Block over ‘false’ acquisition claims

Asian payments venture Omise, the company behind OmiseGo (OMG), has slammed crypto website The Block for reporting an acquisition deal involving Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group). It took to Twitter this morning to make the following announcement.

In an email to Coin Rivet, Omise said that the rumours could have an adverse effect on Omise Holdings, its subsidiaries and CP Group. “We have been in contact with The Block and they have already updated their article upon our clarification,” it added.

Built on the Ethereum platform, OmiseGO is aiming to become the number one, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency exchange platform. It is pitched as “much more than an altcoin. It’s designed to be a financial platform, with the intent of disrupting current financial institutions and methodologies”.
