Recently, China’s Supreme People’s Procuracy (SPP) and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) issued a public warning, emphasizing that the use of Tether (USDT) as an intermediary tool in transactions between Renminbi and other foreign currencies are not suitable.

According to the announcement, using USDT in exchanges is considered a violation of the law. At the same time, China’s two leading regulatory agencies have also declared that all activities related to cryptocurrency trading with the Yuan are completely illegal. This includes indirect participation, such as technical support or provision of exchange services.
