๐Ÿ”ˆ๐Ÿ”ˆ China Expands Anti-Corruption Crackdown to Crypto and Blockchain ๐Ÿ’ฅ The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is calling for tougher action against corruption involving cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, the internet, and cross-border capital flows. ๐Ÿ’ฅ A resolution approved on October 29 and published on November 1, 2026, highlights growing concerns over increasingly sophisticated methods of concealing assets and transferring illicit benefits. ๐Ÿ” Key Highlights: โœ”๏ธ Strengthening investigations into corruption involving cryptocurrencies and blockchain. โœ”๏ธ Targeting nominee asset ownership, intermediaries, and promises of future benefits used to conceal illicit interests. โœ”๏ธ Developing digital disciplinary monitoring platforms and big-data surveillance systems. โœ”๏ธ Tightening scrutiny of illicit connections between government officials and businesses. ๐Ÿ’ก What's Worth Noting? This is not a new crypto ban. The resolution does not specifically mention Bitcoin or introduce new regulations on cryptocurrency trading or mining. While continuing to tighten controls over crypto-related activities, Beijing is still promoting blockchain as a strategic technology infrastructure, with a target of substantially completing its national blockchain network by 2030. The move highlights China's dual approach: maintaining strict control over digital assets while continuing to invest in the potential of blockchain technology.
