China Maintains Crypto Crackdown as Asia Embraces Regulated Stablecoins
China has doubled down on its stringent cryptocurrency regulations, with the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) reinforcing its crackdown on domestic crypto speculation. Governor Pan Gongsheng underscored the risks posed by global stablecoins, even as the central bank monitors international developments in the sector.
While China tightens its grip, Asian counterparts like Japan and South Korea are forging ahead with regulated stablecoin frameworks. The PBOC’s stance remains unwavering—prioritizing financial stability over crypto innovation, with law enforcement collaboration to curb illicit activities.
