PBoC Clamping Down on Airdrops

China’s central bank, PBoC (People’s Bank of China), is planning to clamp down on airdrops. Airdrops are the free distribution of cryptocurrency tokens. According to PBoC’s 2018 financial stability report, which was released last Friday, airdrops and other “disguised” ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) were continuing to grow in number, despite the government’s attempts at stopping the sale of tokens.

The report stated that many crypto firms had moved their projects abroad and were using agents who were investing in cryptos on behalf of their clients in mainland China. The bank also stated that firms had created another form of fund raising by using airdrops, wherein they depended on secondary markets to help push up the prices of their tokens so that they could make a profit.
