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.

SwissAssetDAO

Entirely anchored in the laws of Switzerland as an association, dedicated to real-world asset (RWA) investing. Thus, just another DAO, probably nothing.
