**🚨 CLEAR & CURRENT STATUS (June 2025):**

**China's TOTAL BAN on cryptocurrency REMAINS IN FULL FORCE.**

### 📜 **OFFICIAL STANCE (UNCHANGED SINCE 2021):**

1. **ALL Crypto Activities ILLEGAL:**

- Trading, mining, exchanges, and crypto-based services **PROHIBITED** on mainland China.

- Banks blocked from processing crypto transactions.

- No licensing for crypto businesses.

2. **State Media CONFIRMS BAN:**

- Recent People's Bank of China (PBOC) bulletins (April 2025) reiterate:

*"Virtual currencies disrupt financial order... illegal activities will be severely punished."*

- Communist Party outlets (e.g., Xinhua) label crypto **"speculative gambling"** (May 2025).

3. **Hong Kong ≠ Mainland China:**

- **Hong Kong** allows *regulated* crypto trading (e.g., licensed exchanges).

- **Mainland China BANNED** – strict Great Firewall blocks access.

---

### ❌ **MISINFORMATION ALERT:**

- Rumors of "China unbanning crypto" are **FALSE** (often spread to pump prices).

- "Underground mining" exists but is **RISKY** – farms raided monthly (see Sichuan ops, May 2025).

---

### 💥 **IMPACT ON TRB/USDT & YOUR TRADE:**

| Factor | Reality Check |

|----------------------|-------------------------------|

| **Direct TRB access** | Impossible for Chinese traders |

| **Price influence** | Indirect via BTC FUD dumps |

| **Technical setup** | **BEARISH** (see prior analysis) |

**▶️ Prediction Update:**

- TRB’s crash to **$38.95** (June 1 low) aligns with **technical breakdown** – *not* China news.

- **Next 48h:** If BTC drops below $60K → TRB **$35 target ACTIVATED**.

---

### 🛡️ **YOUR ACTION PLAN:**

1. **IGNORE "China unban" hype** – it’s a trap.

2. **TRADE TECHNICALS:**

- Short rallies to **$41.20–$41.50** (weak resistance).

- Stop loss: **$42.60** (above June 1 high).

3. **MONITOR:**

- BTC dominance → Altcoins bleed faster in crashes.

- TRB volume → Panic sells spike below $38.

> 🔐 **Final Word:**

> **China = PERMA-BEAR catalyst.** Policy won’t change until e-CNY dominates (2030+).

> **TRB’s fate:** Hinges on global markets – *not* Chinese demand.
