China Slams Crypto Harder Than a Ban Hammer ๐Ÿšจ

In a move that sent shockwaves through the crypto-sphere, China has issued a stern “no thank you” ๐Ÿšซ to Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization. This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill warning; it’s a full-blown, coordinated assault on anything that even remotely smells like crypto ๐Ÿšจ.

Seven heavyweight financial associations, led by the National Internet Finance Association of China, have banded together to declare RWAs and virtual currencies persona non grata. They’re calling them risky, unapproved, and, wait for it… illegal! ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿš”

RWAs: The New Bad Boys on the Block

In this no-holds-barred alert, RWAs are lumped in with stablecoins, meme coins, and those shady “air coins” like Pi ๐Ÿ’จ. The message is crystal clear: China’s regulators haven’t given RWAs the green light, so don’t even think about operating in some murky grey zone ๐Ÿšซ.

The risks? Oh, they’ve got a shopping list: fake assets, operational failures, rampant speculation, and schemes masquerading as innovation ๐Ÿ›‘. Plus, they’re warning that RWA tokens could be used for illegal fundraising, unauthorized securities issuance, and even illegal futures operations ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Crypto: Back in the Hot Seat

The warning also serves as a stark reminder that virtual currencies are a big no-no ๐Ÿšซ in China. Tokens without clear tech or commercial value are labeled as ripe for manipulation and fraud ๐ŸŽญ. This isn’t the first time China has waved this red flag, but the level of coordination across industry groups this time is unprecedented ๐Ÿšฉ.

Stablecoins are also back under the microscope ๐Ÿ”, following last weekโ€™s statement from the PBoC that they fail to meet Chinaโ€™s KYC and AML requirements ๐Ÿ“‰.

Financial Institutions: Step Away Slowly

Every financial institution in China is being told to steer clear of virtual currencies and RWA tokens ๐Ÿšซ. No participation, no support, no services-not even if you’re a trading platform, issuer, or intermediary ๐Ÿ“ต.

The notice goes a step further, warning that domestic staff working for overseas crypto or RWA companies could face liability if they “knew or should have known” they were aiding such activity ๐Ÿšจ.

In a nutshell, China has made its position unmistakable: RWAs and crypto activities are most definitely off-limits ๐Ÿšซ.
