🚨 China Shuts 670 Banks — Could Bitcoin Feel the Ripple Effect?
China closed a record 670 banks in its latest yearly count, with most being small rural lenders absorbed by larger institutions.
🏦 The number of banks has fallen 23% in four years, leaving around 3,139 banks, according to Fitch Ratings.
While Fitch says broader contagion is unlikely, concerns remain after authorities in Wuhan took control of Z-Bank in July—the first takeover of its kind in China since Baoshang Bank in 2019.
₿ Bitcoin is trading around $85,340, and traders are watching closely to see whether another banking shake-up could create volatility across global markets.
Banking stress → liquidity concerns → potential crypto volatility.👀
