In another news, a slew of crypto-related accounts in China’s Twitter-like Weibo platform were blocked over the weekend, as Beijing stepped up a crackdown on bitcoin trading and mining.

Over the weekend, access to several of widely followed crypto-related Weibo accounts was denied, with a message saying each account “violates laws and rules.” The Weibo freeze comes as Chinese media have stepped up reporting against crypto trading. The stepped-up crackdown also comes as China’s central bank is accelerating testing of its own digital currency.
