Cryptocurrency business has remained to be booming in China despite the recent bans imposed by the government on Bitcoin exchange and holding of ICOs. This is one area which China failed to see the significance of. They were already the leader in Bitcoin and then gradually the leadership was passed to Japan (which I prefer of course since I don't like the bully attitude of China). I am not wishing that China go back to the Bitcoin table as we can all survive and prosper without the Chinese market opening (though there are still many Chinese into Bitcoin even up to now!). Bitcoin does not need China but they can go with other crypto-related projects by the way.

That's honestly great news; always glad to see new money floating into the game.
Though i don't know why OKcoin? I didn't research this project much, what makes it special compared to Binance for example?
