The Rise and Fall of the Libra/Diem Project: Global Regulatory Challenges and Profound Implications for China's Digital Currency Strategy
Facebook's Libra (later renamed Diem) digital currency project, launched in 2019, aimed to build a global payment system but faced strong opposition from regulators worldwide due to concerns over monetary sovereignty and financial stability. The project was ultimately disbanded in 2022. However, its emergence had a significant impact on China, being perceived as a potential threat to financial sovereignty and the internationalization of the RMB. Libra's challenge spurred China to accelerate the research, development, and promotion of its central bank digital currency (digital yuan) to safeguard the nation's monetary status and address the future digital financial landscape.

China's Cryptocurrency Regulatory Landscape and Digital Yuan: A Global Exchange Platform Overview
Mainland China maintains a comprehensive ban on cryptocurrency trading and related activities, continuously strengthening its regulatory stance by classifying virtual currency transactions as illegal financial activities. Concurrently, the People's Bank of China's digital yuan (e-CNY), a legal digital currency, is accelerating its adoption and optimizing the user experience for foreigners. Hong Kong, on the other hand, operates under an independent virtual asset regulatory framework and has licensed multiple trading platforms. Despite the strict mainland ban, some global cryptocurrency trading platforms remain active in international markets, but users in restricted regions face significant legal and financial risks if they participate.

What is the Digital Yuan? An Analysis of the Background and Core Motivations Behind the Development of Central Bank Digital Currencies
The digital yuan (e-CNY) is a legal digital currency issued by the People's Bank of China (PBOC), designed to replace cash in circulation (M0), and backed by state credit. It adopts a "central bank-commercial bank" two-tier issuance system, possessing characteristics such as legal tender status, controllable anonymity, and dual-offline payment capabilities, fundamentally differing from decentralized cryptocurrencies and third-party payment tools. China initiated its research and development in 2014 and began pilot programs at the end of 2019. Its development is driven by factors including improving payment efficiency, promoting financial inclusion, curbing the monopoly of third-party payments, addressing the challenges posed by private cryptocurrencies, and advancing the internationalization of the RMB.

<h2>Unpacking the Deep-Seated Reasons Behind China's Comprehensive Ban on Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies</h2>
China has progressively tightened its regulation of cryptocurrencies since 2013, culminating in a comprehensive ban on all virtual currency-related businesses, including trading and mining, in 2021, while reiterating that offshore services are illegal. The ban was re-emphasized in February 2026. The main reasons include preventing financial risks, maintaining economic stability, combating money laundering and other illegal activities, implementing capital controls to prevent capital outflow, and reducing the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining. Furthermore, the promotion of the digital yuan has also prompted the government to strengthen centralized control over digital finance. Despite restrictions on trading and mining, the legality of individual cryptocurrency ownership may still exist.
