China: Bitcoin has shown the safe-haven feature!

admin

China’s official state-run press agency, the Xinhua News Agency, has an analysis of the recent BTC price hike. Among other things, the analysis was about the Bitcoin price and speculated on the reason (or the reasons) of the Bullruns and also called Facebook’s Libra as a possible cause.

However, one thing has also been said that is far more important in terms of its meaning and significance. It has been said that Bitcoin has proven to be a safe haven that attracts the attention of many investors.

This statement has also been put in the global context, pointing out that world markets have become more volatile as a result of trade disputes and the long-awaited downturn in the global economy. This happens at a time when the Trump government is examining the preparation of additional tariffs on Chinese imported products.

These kinds of statements are strong words from the media department of the Chinese government, given that the Chinese government has been generally very hostile to BTC and cryptocurrency. For example, it called for stronger regulation of cryptocurrencies and reported various prohibitions on Bitcoin-related activities.

To summarize, China’s relationship to cryptocurrencies was (and is) rocky at best. As of now, Chinese investors can own and hold digital assets. By contrast, BTC trading and the organization of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are not allowed due to a government-imposed ban.
