China’s Cryptocurrency Market After ICO Ban – Kiss the Rod or Die

From raising transaction fees to changing names: how Chinese companies affected by ICO ban react.People’s Bank of China (PBOC) recently banned ICOs for “illegal fundraising”. The local Chinese news site Caixin has released a list of ICOs likely to be affected by the move.
In the same report, it was also detailed what makes ICOs different from Bitcoin and how PBOC will take further action after its initial ban.
Right after the report, several Chinese ICO entities have taken specific actions in order to avoid the hassle of adjustments due to the expected changes in legislation.
While PBOC and Chinese government are hinting that the ban may be temporary as the country aims to be at the forefront of Blockchain development, it looks like strict regulatory measures and policies are far from over.
