🚨 "China Banned Crypto Again!" — Don’t Panic! 🇨🇳
Every few months, headlines scream that China has banned cryptocurrency. But let’s set the record straight, this is nothing new. It's part of a long and complicated history of crypto regulations in China. Here’s a quick timeline:
• June 2009: ban on using virtual currencies for payment of goods.
• December 2013: ban for banks on conducting BTC transactions.
• April 2014: requirement to close accounts related to trading.
• September 2017: full ban on ICOs and closure of crypto exchanges.
• June 2021: ban on cryptocurrency mining.
• September 2021: complete restriction of cryptocurrency transactions for citizens and companies.
• May–June 2025: tightening of rules — not only trading and mining are prohibited, but also personal ownership of crypto, with risks of confiscation and fines.
⚠️ Despite this harsh stance, China still plays a massive role in the global crypto space — from blockchain patents to investments in Web3 infrastructure.
Bottom line:
🔴 These headlines are nothing new
🔴 China's policy is strict, but full of contradictions
🔴 Stay informed — not misled by clickbait
📌 Crypto in China isn’t dead — it’s just complicated.
