The Struggle is Real for Crypto Users in China

Crypto users in Mainland China are finding creative ways to trade while major exchanges prepare for service disabling by the end of this year.

The end of the year is quickly approaching, and it will be a sad time for crypto users in China. As the country renewed its ban on all cryptocurrency this year - including trading/mining rights- exchanges like Binance and Huobi have announced that they'll stop service to their Chinese clients by month's end due to new rules set out earlier this season which outlawed domestic blockchain tech use without approval from government entities like PSB (People’s Bank Of China).

The upcoming deadline has been highlighted by some as a potential risk for the market, with for instance Colin Wu writing that people should “be aware of market fluctuations”. He goes on to say: "Binance is currently suspending support in China only where it was available until now; Huobi and MEXC also suspended service."

Despite the looming deadline, crypto users in Mainland China have already found ways to get around restrictions according to unnamed sources. The South China Morning Post spoke with these individuals who are allowed access despite government regulations because they can find alternative methods for making transactions workable and profitable- often by trading outside of their home country's financial systems altogether!

To access foreign crypto exchanges, it is possible to use a VPN in China. From there one can sign up for an account using only their email address and choosing not to have any sort of identity system when creating accounts because they are anonymous throughout most parts of mainland Asia.

The current situation for Chinese crypto traders is not an easy one. However, it seems that even with the recent banishment of digital currencies from mainland China they will still find ways around this obstacle and continue trading on exchanges in order to make money off their investments abroad instead.

Following the 2017 ban, many Chinese exchanges suspended deposits of fiat currency and only allowed withdrawals. However this led to "temporary chaos" in the country's domestic market as investors struggled with an absence of trading options that could accommodate their needs for both cryptoassets or traditional investments such as stocks.

The situation improved when some experienced traders formed private over-the-counter (OTC) groups which enabled trades between these two currencies; They also helped each other find potential buyers/sellers at different rates so no one got ripped off due to carelessness.

According to a third source, options are becoming much more limited for those who want to get in on the action.

The move from Chinese yuan to crypto is becoming more difficult as the country's economic landscape continues evolving. Traders can opt for decentralized exchanges (DEXes) which do not require Know Your Customer checks in order trade between tokens but this comes at a cost; it becomes harder and costly when moving away from your home turf - especially if there are restrictions on where you live due to political reasons or other circumstances like violence that make living conditions challenging .

These exchanges quickly curry favor with the Chinese government by relocating their headquarters out of mainland China, but they may not be as safe or compliant anymore.

The recent ban on crypto trading within The People’s Republic has caused many once-strong companies like Binance - which was headquartered in Tokyo before it moved to Hong Kong last year following regulatory demands that forced them into seclusion--to reassess its position overseas; if nothing else than just due diligence for future opportunities!

Crypto-related activities in China continue to be a hot topic as Beijing cracks down on them. While peer2peer and over the counter trading were still generally available for users within mainland borders, it is now seemingly more difficult than ever before due to recent regulations from local authorities which aim at driving out cryptocurrencies altogether with their own coin launched last month! What solutions will emerge?
