China’s Crackdown’s Effects On Bitcoin And Cryptocurrencies

On July 6th the central Bank of China announced the shutdown of a firm, suspected to be providing cryptocurrency services. 

Also, the Beijing office of People’s Bank Of China issued a statement where it ordered all the institutions to not provide services related to crypto or any virtual currency including their marketing or production. Moves like this against digital currencies are new for the Chinese government.

In 2013 the Chinese government ordered all the third-party payment providers to stop the use of bitcoins. And in 2017, The government also stopped the token sales and pledged to continue targeting all the cryptocurrency exchanges in 2019. 

Every time China tried to lash out at the crypto industry in the past, their effect did not last long and rules got soft eventually. 

This time, the story is a little different. 

China’s Increased Attack On Crypto Industry In 2021

In 2021 Chinese government banned all the payment companies and financial institutions that were dealing in crypto-related services. And in July, people who were using cryptocurrencies, even after giving the warning, were arrested on a large scale. In that same month, the authorities also pressured payment businesses and banks to stop providing all types of crypto services.

They also suspended all the crypto-related accounts on Twitter, Weibo, and many other social media and networking platforms. Unfortunately, till July, half of the world’s bitcoin producers have gone dark because of the Chinese crackdown on bitcoin trading and mining.

“The Chinese government is doing everything in their hands to make sure that all the cryptocurrencies disappear from their economy and financial systems,” said Fred Thiel, member of Bitcoin Mining Council. 

But a very important question still remains unanswered – why is China making all such moves?

Let’s find out:

Why Has China Declared This War Against Cryptocurrencies?

You might be having this question from the start itself: why has China declared war against cryptocurrencies in 2021?

It’s a kind of Central Bank digital currency that has been in the development process since 2014. This war might be their way to ensure adaptation of this digital currency in order to gain 100% surveillance over the financial surveillance activities.
