#China has put a comprehensive and incredibly strict #ban on pretty much everything to do with #crypto . It's not just a soft warning; they've made it explicitly illegal.
The crackdown really intensified in 2021, and the rules are very clear. Trading cryptocurrency on exchanges is banned, and so is peer-to-peer trading. The government also completely outlawed crypto mining, which forced a massive exodus of miners who had to pack up their operations and relocate to other countries. This move had a huge impact on the global crypto market and energy consumption.
The reasons behind the ban are multifaceted. The government has openly expressed concerns about financial stability and the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies. They also want to maintain firm control over their own financial system, especially as they continue to develop their own digital currency, the digital yuan. On top of that, the immense energy consumption from mining was a significant environmental concern.
So, for all intents and purposes, engaging with crypto in China is a no-go. The #government views it as a threat rather than an opportunity, and their actions have had a massive ripple effect on the global crypto landscape.
