At first, Reuters, Bloomberg, and CNBC all reported on the news as being legitimate and then updated their posts and revealed the news was not accurate with a statement from a Walmart spokesperson.

A number of cryptocurrency influencers getwittert out that it was “fake.” One individual discovered that the name “WALMART-CORP.COM,” the email used in the globenewswire.com press release, did not go to an official website. The name “WALMART-CORP.COM” was also registered last month.

The news never appeared in Walmart’s official online newsroom and the account that registered “Walmart Inc” had never published before this event. A Walmart spokesperson confirmed with CNBC that the press release published on Monday was “not authentic.”

A Walmart spokesperson who spoke with Bloomberg said that the “statement on Litecoin was inauthentic.” The official Litecoin Twitter account that tweeted the news has since deleted the tweet. The web page archive.org shows that no one managed to get the tweet saved but there are plenty of screenshots of the tweet.

Litecoin (LTC) gained 28.9% in a 24 hour period after the fake news went viral, but since the report was confirmed as phony LTC prices saw all those gains erased. LTC is now a few percentages lower.
