China imposing hard rules over digital assets

The Chinese authority has been issuing major warnings of trading risks in the NFTs. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies are banned in mainland China. However, the government has signaled that they don’t have any intention of banning NFTs. This has led giants such as Alibaba and Tencent in filing new NFT patents in the past.
