News just in. Seems like the ICO slaughter is in full effect in China. But I guess most of knew that China issued a ban on ICOs and that exchanges who dealt in ICOs would have to delist or cease operations
Yunbao just delisted QTUM, NEO, RHC, MXI and MRYC
https://www.yuanbao.com/news/detail/?id=1576I don’t even know what that exchange is. Do people really use that exchange to purchase those coins or did they just get rid of them because they weren’t doing well?
I haven’t found an exchange (not stating that there is no exchange doing it) that delists a coin that is within their top 5 trading pairs within the site. If they lose that money then they could just change where they are hosting the website and move to another location since they are making a lot of money from it. It doesn’t really make sense right now, if China decides to switch their views then those exchanges will be pissed.
Well the major exchanges in China, from what I understand, don't trade in ICOs. Its only the smaller ones that have previously allowed ICOs to be bought and traded, they have received a notice from chinese officials that they have to cease trading and allowing any trade with ICO>CNY to stop.
Uncertain what the impact will be, but right now all coins have been feeling it since yesterday. Long term, probably not much, any chinese trader who wants to continue trading can do so by exchanging CNY to USD and trade somewhere else.
But short term it looks like all coins are taking a hit again, much like last weekend.
