Wechat to sanction public accounts facilitating secondary trading of NFTs.
Tencent’s Wechat intends to impose penalties on public accounts facilitating secondary trading of NFTs, a press report has revealed. Accounts offering transaction channels and guidance for cryptocurrencies have also been targeted by the new rule.
The report notes that with the move, Wechat’s management is taking into account the guidelines issued by Chinese regulators earlier this year suggesting that businesses in the industry should steer clear of the financial aspect of such digital assets. “Tencent is acting preemptively to keep itself out of trouble,” commented Bao Linghao, a senior analyst at research firm Trivium China. He pointed out that currently there are no formal regulations on NFT trading yet, but emphasized that “Chinese regulators don’t like speculation of any kind, including NFTs.”
Chinese digital collectibles are built on consortium blockchains, not open blockchains such as Ethereum. Additionally, the guidelines issued in April suggested that they must be bought using the Chinese yuan under real identities to avoid money laundering risks.
