China may be preparing for a fundamental change in its approach to virtual currencies.
At the Central Political and Legal Work Conference in Beijing—the country’s highest-level legal and governance meeting—officials explicitly called for enhanced research into emerging technologies and stronger oversight to prevent the misuse of blockchain and encryption technologies to evade regulation.
This is not a routine policy signal. The scale and authority of this conference suggest that comprehensive domestic virtual currency legislation is now actively underway, with 2026 emerging as a key timeline.

🔍 Why this matters
1️⃣ From “Blocking” to “Unblocking”
Since China’s blanket ban on virtual currencies, crypto activity has not disappeared—it has gone underground. Authorities increasingly view this as undesirable, preferring economic activity to operate in the open, under legal supervision.
Rather than endless crackdowns, regulators now appear focused on defining boundaries and setting rules.
2️⃣ Legal vacuum and rising disputes
Crypto-related crimes—such as stolen USDT and rapid fund laundering across multiple addresses—have surged. Recovery is difficult, and sentencing remains unclear due to a lack of applicable laws.
Legislation is now seen as urgent to establish legal accountability, enforcement standards, and judicial clarity.
3️⃣ Global pressure is mounting
While China hesitated, major economies—including the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and the UAE—moved forward with regulation, licensing frameworks, and even state-level participation.
Remaining outside this system risks long-term marginalization in global financial innovation.

🧭 A turning point
This conference signals a strategic transition:
➡️ From outright prohibition
➡️ To regulated participation
The era of crypto’s “wild growth” in China is ending.
The era of rule-of-law governance for virtual assets is approaching.
And as regulation replaces uncertainty, capital, compliance, and confidence may return.
💡 Some wallets may indeed get heavier—but only under the law.

Státní správa devizového trhu (SAFE) v Číně oficiálně začlenila transakce s virtuálními měnami, včetně Bitcoinu, do svého regulačního rámce devizového trhu. Tento strategický krok znamená proaktivnější a robustnější přístup čínských orgánů k řízení vznikajících rizik spojených s obchodováním s virtuálními měnami a jejich dopadem na finanční systém země. Rozšířením svého dohledu si Čína klade za cíl zmírnit potenciální finanční nestabilitu, která by mohla vzniknout z volatility virtuálních měn.

Jižní Korea umožní firmám investovat do kryptoměn: Revoluce pro průmysl
Jižní korejská Komise pro finanční služby (FSC) plánuje umožnit korporacím investovat do virtuálních aktiv pomocí účtů se skutečnými jmény, počínaje neziskovými organizacemi.
Tento krok vychází ze Zákona o ochraně uživatelů virtuálních aktiv, přijatého v roce 2024, který měl stabilizovat trh s kryptoměnami a chránit investory.
S více než 30 % Jižních Korejců investujících do kryptoměn, se země přizpůsobuje regulacím globálním standardům, aby podpořila svůj trh s digitálními aktivy.
