Ruling out NFT\u2019s financial possibilities could further distance the country from the web3 wave taking place in the rest of the world, which is building a decentralized internet on crypto tokens.<\/p>\n Despite its distaste for the freewheeling nature of crypto, China sees blockchain as a key infrastructure<\/a>\u00a0in building out its internet economy. An official from the country\u2019s Securities Regulatory Commission recently hailed<\/a> web3 as the future of the internet, saying it can solve problems from the Web 2.0 era such as the lack of privacy protection. Like other aspects of the blockchain-driven movement, China has defined its own version of NFTs that come with strings attached.<\/p>\n The problems of NFTs are the financial risks they beckon, according to the three associations, which operate under the supervision of China\u2019s financial regulators. The groups warn of speculative, money laundering and other illegal financial activities involving NFTs, but they also recognize the role NFTs could play in advancing China\u2019s digital and creative economy, for instance, by enabling artists to exercise control over their artworks.<\/p>\n To stem NFTs\u2019 financial risks and take advantage of the underlying technology, the associations issued a set of guidelines for the industry:<\/p>\n Technology giants have already played along with Chinese regulators in their NFT endeavors. Bilibili, Tencent and Alibaba-affiliated Ant Group have created permissioned blockchains where creators can mint and sell their works, which are limited to designated participants and separate from the open Ethereum network. Transactions are done only in Chinese yuan and the marketplaces don\u2019t permit reselling as OpenSea and other global exchanges do. Chinese tech companies are also branding NFTs as \u201cdigital collectibles\u201d to distance themselves from the crypto world.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
