China Restricts Yuan-Pegged Stablecoins and Tokenized Assets

China has implemented a ban on the domestic circulation of most yuan-pegged stablecoins and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). According to NS3.AI, the country has also imposed strict penalties on entities associated with overseas cryptocurrency services. Despite this stringent crackdown, the regulation allows for a limited scope of government-approved RWA pilot projects and sandbox initiatives. Analysts suggest that while this move significantly limits crypto businesses within China, it indicates a controlled and cautious approach to experimenting with tokenized assets under strict regulatory oversight.
