China has officially classified cryptocurrency transactions as a form of money laundering by updating its anti-money laundering (AML) laws. This significant legal shift marks the first time Chinese authorities have explicitly recognized 'virtual asset' transactions as methods of money laundering. The Supreme People's Court and the Supreme Procuratorate have included these transactions in their interpretation of the Criminal Law, reflecting an intensified crackdown on financial crimes involving digital currencies. In the first half of 2024, 1,391 individuals were prosecuted for money laundering, a 28.4% increase from the previous year. Meanwhile, rumors about China potentially lifting its ban on Bitcoin are circulating, although no official confirmation has been made.
