Chinese Construction Bank Responds to User Account Freeze Over Dogecoin Remark

In accordance with ChainThink, on December 12, a couple in China had their accounts frozen by the Construction Bank after a 250 RMB transfer with the note '本周狗狗币' (This Week's Dogecoin) triggered a virtual currency risk alert. Bank staff verified their relationship and the reason for the note, citing 'virtual currency control' as the cause. The bank required the couple to submit bank statements and a written commitment that they had not and would not engage in virtual currency transactions. The husband, however, is disputing the account restrictions. The Construction Bank's customer service hotline stated it had not received related instructions, while local branches gave conflicting responses. On December 5, seven Chinese financial associations jointly issued a risk warning against virtual currency transactions.
