Research notes
- By Jamie Redman.
- published_on taken from the page's schema.org datePublished (2017-09-16T05:40:36+00:00). The record's continuity text gives 15 September 2017 as the WEX launch date; this article was published the following day and does not itself state a launch date.
- The headline uses an em dash, not a hyphen, between 'Exchange' and 'Claims'.
- Trade publication owned by Bitcoin.com, so treated as secondary press rather than an independent authority.
