Chinese Restrictions on The Operation of Cryptocurrencies and Mining In 2021, China's mining process and Bitcoin's price were not threatened. Everything was quiet until mid-May when Chinese authorities dealt a few blows to the crypto market. As the CEO of cryptocurrency exchange , based in Malta, I would like to tell about the state of the Chinese mining market and the challenges that mining companies will face in the near future. Kyrrex China's Vice Premier Liu He's tightened up the cryptocurrency and mining market pushed Bitcoin into another slump on May 21, 2021. It began to bring many companies back to the reality in which Bitcoin will not be worth $200K by the end of next year. announcement In just two hours, the first digital currency plummeted to $36K. Moreover, Chinese companies that provide data center, cloud, and telecommunications services can lose their licenses if authorities find out about their involvement in cryptocurrency mining. On May 19, Chinese authorities imposed on financial institutions to provide services in the cryptocurrency market. So they lost the right to issue products based on cryptocurrencies, conduct transactions, and provide services for their management. a total ban Four years ago, the Chinese authorities already made a similar attempt to regulate the cryptocurrency market. At that time, it was forbidden for exchanges to operate in the country. Nevertheless, there are good reasons for Bitcoin's decline, and they include physical mining.

To receive it, a citizen needs to have an account at one of the specified banks. electronic yuan Nevertheless, the events of June greatly overrode the shock therapy of May. Here are some of them, which on my mind were the most important: At the beginning of June, Weibo users experienced administrative restrictions on access to several major cryptocurrency accounts with the note: "It violates laws and regulations.” In addition, the accounts of opinion leaders and bloggers related to cryptocurrencies . Thus, gradually, mining and circulation of cryptocurrencies and even news on the topic are banned. The Chinese government the mining of digital assets in Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai, and Xinjiang provinces. It led to a huge drop in the price of not only Bitcoin to $30K-$32K and many other cryptocurrencies. The People's Bank of China with the five largest banks in the country and with the service on the prohibition of any financial transactions with cryptocurrencies. Many companies operating in the Chinese market are rushing to their mining assemblies, offering a 30% discount. Others are preparing to move to other countries, such as the U.S., Canada, Latin America. were also restricted has banned held a conversation Alipay sell I’m sure that such shock therapy was bound to pass. For too long, China has taken the lead in mining, leaving North America, Russia, Kazakhstan, and other countries far behind. It seems that China has decided to limit its influence on the global economy. The companies that survive China's shock therapy will never go back. How Do Restrictions Affect The Mining Business? The University of Cambridge, in its on the state of mining in the world and China, noted that Chinese mining operators account for 65.08% of the global volume of a mined cryptocurrency. However, the world does not stand still, and many important events have occurred over the past two months. report Here are some of the most significant ones: The market responded to the May events with two falls with a significant correction, during which the Whales bought 77,000 bitcoins worth more than $3 billion.
