As reported by Bitcoin.com, China’s top financial and law enforcement agencies convened a high-level meeting to reaffirm and strengthen the nation’s prohibitive stance on cryptocurrencies. The meeting, hosted by the People’s Bank of China, involved 13 government entities and emphasized that virtual currencies lack legal tender status and should not be used as currency in the market. Regulators warned that speculative trading has resurfaced, leading to illegal activities and new financial risks. Stablecoins were specifically highlighted for their potential misuse in money laundering and fraud. The coordination mechanism aims to enhance enforcement and regulatory policies to crack down on illegal crypto activities and protect financial stability.
