China has been banning crypto since 2013 - Central Bank now says all crypto activity is illegal

I've been in crypto industry since 2013.
I've seen 10 times China banning Bitcoin or crypto.

PBOC says crypto remain illegal in China and all crypto business activities are classified as illegal.

Central Bank says stablecoins fail to meet KYC/AML standards.

China sees stablecoins as high risk for money laundering, fraudulent fundraising, and illegal cross-border flow.

Instead of allowing public to access crypto, China is focusing on CBDC (e-CNY). 

Same as in Europe, China wants to push digital yuan pilots and use in public-sector payments.

Adoption started in streets, not Wall Street.

Ian Weisberger, CEO & Co-Founder of CoinRoutes, observes:

LATAM pays with USDT from phones - normal now
Mature markets follow when revenue shows up
Banking + payments became obvious wedge early

Real usage pulled crypto forward.

Web3 Marketing Leader | Scaling brands through strategy, content, and execution

Since 2019, I’ve been deep in the Web3 arena - part researcher, part strategist, part content-first marketer. My goal is simple: turn complex decentralized technology into clear, compelling stories that move people and businesses forward.

I’ve collaborated with multicultural teams across four continents, analyzing the latest blockchain trends, mapping their impact across industries, and guiding organizations through the fast-changing Web3 landscape. Along the way I’ve championed a “ship > talk” culture—quick execution, open feedback, and plenty of room for creativity (and the occasional meme).

✨ Key Wins

- Built From Zero to 250K: Foundation, Visibility & Growth

Established the entire marketing foundation for early-stage Web3 startups, taking them from zero presence to nearly 250,000 followers across platforms.

Developed and executed content strategies that drove massive organic reach, brand awareness, and long-term community engagement.

- Campaigns that convert

Built fundraising and go-to-market campaigns for Web3 brands by distilling complex tech into persuasive, story-driven narratives.

- Brand amplification

Elevated blockchain service & infrastructure providers with engaging content, sharp positioning, and hands-on management of content + community teams.

- Community, not just hype
Launched mission-focused communities aimed at long-term utility, not fleeting buzz.

- Culture matters

Discovered first-hand that nothing grabs Web3 attention like smart memes and humor, now a core tool in my brand-building kit.

What I Bring

- Story-led leadership – I rally teams to craft narratives that spotlight the real-world value of blockchain and fintech innovations.

- Executive brand coaching – From whitepapers to Twitter threads, I help companies, founders and CEOs claim their thought-leadership space.

- Ecosystem fluency – With six years of on-chain experience, I translate technical depth into business impact.

Best explanation of inflation ever 👏
Money printing is theft!

People ask if crypto really pays off.

Honestly it’s a journey and you go through all of this:

▪️ Gold outperforms your bags
▪️ You start doubting your own path
▪️ Your friends start earning more than you
▪️ Your family questions what you’re doing
▪️ The S&P keeps climbing while you move sideways
▪️ You stare at charts at midnight wondering why you are still here

And when the time comes, the zeros you add to your net worth speak louder than anything you could say.

You could turn $0 into $0 million. It sounds funny until the zeros start multiplying.
