CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, TradingView Blocked in China after Toughened Cryptocurrency Clampdown

In a further attempt to impose a crackdown on the cryptocurrency sector in mainland China, three popular cryptocurrency market data platforms – TradingView, CoinMarketCap, and CoinGecko – users are now inaccessible in China.

On the contrary to claims that the three most popular crypto market data sites decided to cut off Chinese IP addresses actively, CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, and TradingView appear to be blocked by Great Firewall – China’s internet censorship agency – in an attempt to censor selected foreign websites, including Facebook, Twitter, and Google.

CoinGecko co-founder TM Lee talked about the development and said: “As far as we know, we didn’t block proactively.” Bobby Ong, co-founder and COO at CoinGecko, also said: “We did not block any Chinese IPs.”

Based on test runs on Greatfire.org, the three sites are currently all blocked by China’s internet firewall.

While it is unclear when the sites became inaccessible, users noticed the blockage on Tuesday early morning China time. However, it appears that Bybt.com has decided to restrict IP access from within mainland China proactively. Test results on Greatfire.org indicate that China’s internet firewall has not blocked Bybt.com.

The censorship over cryptocurrency data sites is the latest effort by China’s authorities to force out crypto firms conducting services in the nation and limit local users from exposure to market information.

“It appears that China is ramping up its crackdown on the crypto industry, and this time round [sic], CoinGecko has been placed on the censor list simply for providing crypto market information,” said Ong.

As a result, users living in China will have to use other sources to keep updated with events surrounding cryptocurrency prices. They can still access the three popular sites by routing through VPNs (virtual private networks) to get around the firewall.

Reports show that users from the cryptocurrency community in the country are increasingly using VPNs and joining chat groups on Telegram to discuss crypto-related information more safely after China’s Central Bank announced tougher measures on Friday, September 24, to clamp down cryptocurrency mining and trading activities.

Twitter Rolls Out Bitcoin Price Quotes

The addition of Bitcoin price quotations to Twitter’s social media platform occurred around the 18th of April. The price quotations are provided by the charting platform TradingView, however they are only accessible for the price of Bitcoin. Price quotes for other major cryptocurrencies are not provided. The accompanying Bitcoin price chart includes a link that users may use to purchase or sell Bitcoin on the Israeli cryptocurrency market known as eToro. In addition, a caution that reads “Your Capital Is At Risk” is shown beside the chart that displays the price of bitcoins.

Twitter has emerged as an essential component of the retail investing community, and it is anticipated that the inclusion of Bitcoin price quotations will play a big role in the dissemination of financial news and the acquisition of information. The implementation of “$Cashtags” has the goal of elevating users’ familiarity with the Bitcoin market on the site and encouraging more user participation therein.

Elon Musk made the declaration on the 17th of April that he would develop a piece of artificial intelligence software that he would call “TruthGPT” in order to battle what he considers to be a left-wing bias in the media business. It is anticipated that the AI software would actively seek the truth and encourage impartial reporting.

While Twitter is the most recent social platform to integrate Bitcoin price quotes, on April 10th, Douyin, the Chinese counterpart of TikTok, began providing Bitcoin price quotes to an estimated 730 million users in Mainland China. Twitter is the most recent social platform to incorporate Bitcoin price quotations. The quotations were, however, taken down a day later and replaced with a statement that warned users that “unofficial digital currencies do not possess the same legal standing as fiat currencies.”

The introduction of Bitcoin price quotations on Twitter’s social media platform is a big step towards expanding knowledge of and involvement with the cryptocurrency market on social media. This is because Twitter is the largest social media platform in the world. In addition to this, it brings to light the ever-increasing significance of cryptocurrencies in the financial sector, as well as the need of reliable information and impartial reporting.
