Referring to Bloomberg, USDT/CNY fell by as much as 4.4% after the Communist Party crackdown. The recovery proposes that peak selling may have been approved as the markets initiate to consolidate.

 

One of the concerns motivating China’s crypto crackdown is wealth outflows, which have been seen to spur their latest moves to overpower the industry. Bloomberg speculated that OTC trading may not do the same capital flight risks related to typical exchanges. These suggested regulators may not be so heavy-handed in trading with the sector.

 

Current status -

 

The newest wave of government-imposed limitations has also seen crypto mining operations directed as China attempts to align its carbon impartiality goals. Numerous companies including Huobi and OKEx have stopped their local mining operations and mining facilities for Chinese customers.
