The Chinese IT ministry has released its third ranking of cryptocurrency projects. Out of 31 projects, EOS remains at the top of the list while both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash saw slight improvements from the previous month.

The center began ranking 28 crypto projects in May. The following month it added 2 more projects: EOS and Nebulas. This month, one more is added, making a total of 31 crypto projects on the list. Gxchain is the latest addition.

For the latest ranking, EOS remains at the top of the list, followed by Ethereum, just like the previous month. Similarly, NEM stays at the bottom of the list. Bitcoin has moved up from the 17th place to the 16th place while Bitcoin Cash from the 28th place to the 25th place.

Debuting in fourth place, Gxchain, is a “blockchain-based decentralized data exchange” built on a stable, Yuan-linked cryptocurrency, its whitepaper describes. It is designed as a “bridge between data sources released on different platforms,” according to its website.

CCID’s ranking is based on a “comprehensive investigation and evaluation of the public chain from three aspects: basic technology, application, and innovation,” according to China Electronics News Agency (Cena), the media agency headed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

The thing that wonders me much is why a part of the government implementing a blanket ban on cryptocurrencies for trading is actually making a list while all others aren't.
I know there are a lot of chinese investors active in the market and china is still one of the largest market, but why chinese government and why EOS?
