Peoples Bank of China Says Yuan-Bitcoin Trade Now Less Than 1 percent

The ban placed on cryptocurrencies by the Chinese government has had the desired effect. The People’s bank of China released a report saying that the Chinese yuan now accounts for less than 1 percent of global bitcoin trade. The report showed that the yuan which once was the dominant currency of the cryptocurrency trade has whittled down its position due to the ban.

Guo Dazghi, who is the research director, spoke with Asia Times saying,  “The new figures indicate that the policy has been very successful. It is within expectations that the yuan’s share in global Bitcoin transactions would drop after China announced the ban.”

Before the ban in 2017, the yuan-bitcoin trading constituted 90 percent of all bitcoin trades at the exchanges.
