For me, this so called criteria is just crap, I mean they hated BTC because it's a decentralised coins and the government knows that it can be used as a tool to hide money from them. They don't like capital flight that's why they try to show their population that BTC is not a good investment or store of value.
Besides, they are all in for blockchain technologies, that's why they love all those smart contract like TRX or NEO. So I'm not surprised by the news.
so they support fully centralized coins, so besides bitcoin what else is decentralized because everyone has an owner, but we'll see if anyone makes new and competitive changes.
