Xinhua, critical of cryptocurrency exchange, said that today they had become a favorite among criminals around the world. It continued that exchanges are known to have "concocted pyramid schemes " and "engage in illegal activities" - criminal activity, "disguised as scientific and technological innovation." These organizations must be met with "iron fist governance", according to an information agency, which also highly appreciated the authorities' "zero tolerance" for financial risks and illegal activities. The article follows a statement of the authorities in early September, which prohibited the sale of blockchain tokens as a method of fundraising.
