Hello, thanks for this, by the way you think that my opinion or should I say speculation, on the latter could be possible? ICE wouldn't just announced it like that but due to garbage journalism and propaganda the news was resulting to exaggeration leading to confusion of the community.

I think it is the fake news. Because yesterday only I had checked the official website of ICE and found they have indeed mentioned the name of Starbucks that are entering into a partnership. You can check the below link,

ICE is an intercontinental exchange and not a small time company that needs more visibility by taking the names of giants. So I doubt the claim of denial.
I have tried to search for the denial news of Starbucks but unable to see anything from a trusted source. Can you point me out to the official Starbucks news where they have said that they are not entering into a partnership?

Starbucks is involved with bakkt because they have great experience with different payment solutions and can help to grow the network and explore possible use-cases for digitial assets. i think in near future also starbucks dont accept the payment bitcoin but who know's anything can happen in crypto industry.

This is what happens when news agencies just copy stories from each other, instead of actually doing their job and verifying the actual sources of any particular story.
In this case it was clearly poor journalism that caused this little tidbit of misinformation getting spread, but sometimes it's also the crypto companies themselves who are spreading fake rumors.
I think this case with BMW and CarVertical (ICO) says enough:
Carvertical claimed a partnership with BMW, while they were just making use of their publicly available API
I've given some more examples in a recent blog on Steemit

It is worth noticing that the announcement last two days about ICE creating an exchange with big partners such as microsoft, and starbucks was probably a way to pump but this rumbles when Starbucks denied the annoucement made. But you know media can easily hype all this potential news. What I see here is they denying it due to the fact that no legal and initial talk abouts where discussed and agreed to the mentioned companies. Here is the link of news about it.

On my opinion, once an agreement is made this will announce themeselves. I know starbucks really want to venture into crypto project and will definitely wouldnt miss it. But due to upcoming decision approval on Bitcoin ETF they had no choice but to deny the matter.
Hopefully you can some insight about this.
