The banks stressed that virtual currencies still have zero legal status in China, and anything tied to crypto whether itโs trading, payments or stablecoin services is considered illegal.
Stablecoins have become a major point of focus.
Regulators argue that these digital tokens, often pegged to the US dollar, fail to meet key requirements like:
โข Proper customer identification โข Anti-money-laundering safeguards, and other compliance protocols.
Because of these gaps, stablecoins are seen as easy tools for money laundering, fraudulent fundraising, and unauthorized cross-border transfers.
This has led to previous enforcement actions, including the suspension of promotional events and educational seminars related to stablecoins. -------------------------------- ๐๐ก๐จ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ
The control campaign had 13 agencies agreeing to enhance information sharing, improve monitoring capabilities, and identify individual users for potential penalties.
While earlier efforts mostly targeted exchanges and mining facilities, this new phase aims to reach the users themselves.
Looks like users will have less access to crypto in general.
Surprisingly, Bitcoin mining continues in China despite the nationwide ban. Recent data shows that the country still accounts for roughly 14% of global mining activity.
Mining persists in remote areas with cheap electricity and growing data-center infrastructure, showing that while trading and public activity are under strict control, underground operations are still ongoing. ------------------------------------ ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฌ
At the same time, China is pushing hard to grow adoption of the digital yuan.
The e-CNY already has tens of millions of users in pilot programs and is slowly being added to transportation systems, public services and even some cross-border trials.
The US, EU, Japan and others are building clearer frameworks for stablecoins and CBDCs, which is pushing investors toward more regulated digital assets.
