- crypto.com deleted a recent social media post after it sparked controversy online.
- The post showed a crypto-themed Chinese checkers board and was compared by users to the Israeli flag.
- Some X users, including the account @trading_axe, made antisemitic comments about the image and its intent.

On X (formerly Twitter), Crypto.com deleted a post that displayed a Chinese checkers game board featuring cryptocurrency tokens after it led to a wave of online controversy. This action followed a series of comparisons by social media users linking the image to the flag of Israel, accompanied by multiple antisemitic remarks.
Commentators on the platform, including the account @trading_axe, referenced conspiracy theories and falsely claimed that the post signaled covert control by Jewish interests. After the deletion, @trading_axe stated, “Crypto dot com just deleted their Jew symbology tweet after I quote tweeted them. Diabolical work.”
The original intent of the post, according to the available information, was to show a game of Chinese checkers with different cryptocurrencies such as Solana, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, XRP, and the exchange’s own Cronos token, as player pieces. The caption stated, “Strategy always beats luck.”
Chinese checkers is a board game invented in Germany in 1892. It features a six-pointed, star-shaped board and is unrelated to any national or religious symbols. While Crypto.com’s main X account chose to remove the post, the same image remains on the exchange’s Australian account, where it continues to attract similar criticism and antisemitic comments.
Crypto.com has not yet released a public statement regarding the incident, and inquiries remain unanswered. The controversy has reignited discussion about the sensitivity of imagery and responses on public platforms. More details about the game’s background can be found in its Wikipedia entry.
