In the case of illegal public financing, no organization or individual may illegally engage in the issuance of financing activities. According to authoritative data, since 2019, the Mujin Remediation Office has closed six newly discovered virtual currency trading platforms in the territory, and transferred and more than 200 platforms that are operated overseas and physically operated in China. Close nearly 10,000 related payment accounts, close the WeChat marketing promotion program and the public number nearly 300. "There have been some recent comments that the 94 ban is outdated. In fact, the policy of combating virtual currency and combating ICO has never changed," the source said.
