Coindesk always create a hype by interpreting such comments in a deliberately far-stretched way. I have seen them making big news out of usual comments from government financial bodies of different countries.
Basically they want to draw as much attention of people as possible by creating BREAKING news out of thin air.
You have to be very careful and read the original statements of those bodies in order to get correct interpretation.
You're right. Coindesk isn't exactly the pinnacle of journalistic integrity. Sadly, I've always believed they get most of their ideas from this forum and Reddit. If it's a slow news day on BCT and Reddit they just rehash old news. We should be looking to them for the news, instead we're giving it to them.
