China Bans Crypto-Linked Social Media Accounts

China’s crypto crackdown continues to ramp up as it banned several influential social media accounts focused on crypto-related content over the weekend.

At least a dozen popular Weibo accounts featuring content about cryptocurrencies have been suspended or shut down over claimed violation of the Chinese social media platform’s relevant laws and regulations.

This follows the announcement by Chinese authorities last month to intensify their crackdown on Bitcoin mining and trading behavior.

The latest social media crackdown is not a first for China which made previously similar moves to ban influential crypto-related accounts.

In 2019, Weibo banned the social media accounts of Binance co-founder Yi He and Tron founder Justin Sun.
