Speculation suggests that JioCoin might eventually allow users to redeem rewards for services such as mobile recharges or purchases at Reliance outlets, though no official confirmation has been provided.
Raza noted in another post on X, saying that Reliance Jio operates across a vast network of companies. He believes JioCoin could play a central role within this ecosystem, which could become one of the largest reward programs globally.
However, in a January 17 post on X, Author Sunil Aggarwal raised concerns about JioCoin’s transparency. He questioned whether it has a block explorer, verified smart contracts on Polygon, or listed details about its supply. Without answers to these questions, he described JioCoin as an experimental project.
Meanwhile, Phantom, a cryptocurrency wallet, recently denied rumors of creating a new token. What did the company say? Read the full story.
