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.

Like many of you reading this, I've fallen into the convenience trap of having AI write the majority of my posts recently, so every now and then I want to go back to writing these myself, without an AI helping me. Because, so far, no AI has been able to capture my tone or voice. 

Here's a shout out to the Fintech Tuesdays Community for putting together a series of speakers that are unmatched at Fintech Surge Expand North Star 

Had the pleasure to share with the audience why I believe that the UAE is the best place to be today, and how the leadership of the country is the X-Factor.


Proud to be an active member in the Fintech Tuesdays community and looking forward to growing this further together. 

There's too many people to tag in the below pictures many of them friends that I've had the pleasure to deliver success with. 

Do you recognise someone in the picture ? tag them in the comments.

Das Wort zum Freitag...

Laugh out as loud as you can 😁
