The two most popular crypto market data websites are now inaccessible to users in mainland China.
CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap are both currently blocked by China’s “Great Firewall”. Search results on Greatfire.org, an online tool for checking websites censored by China’s Great Firewall, also showed the two websites were 100% blocked at the time of going to press.
Coinecko has only been banned since September 2021
According to Greatfire.org, the decentralized exchange Uniswap has also been blocked since May 2021. However, the competing DEX exchanges SushiSwap, PancakeSwap or DyDx will not be blocked.
Of course, all centralized exchanges like Binance, Houbi, Okex, Bybit, Coinbase … have long been blocked.
The censorship of crypto data sites is the latest sign that China is not only forcing crypto exchanges to stop providing services in the country, but is also trying to limit Chinese users’ exposure to cryptocurrency.
However, users in China can still access these websites by using a VPN to bypass the firewall.
VPN use is on the rise in China’s crypto community after the country’s central bank introduced tough measures last Friday to step up crackdown on mining and trading activities.
Fearing government retaliation, the administrators of many coin trading groups of the Chinese messaging app WeChat changed or disbanded the group name and informed users to switch to Telegram for security reasons. Everyone knows that all data of Wechat users is strictly controlled by the government of this country.
If you are a crypto enthusiast, whether in Synthetic Team or China, we recommend that you only use Telegram to discuss these topics as the Telegram app is encrypted and anonymous, no one can access it and your information can be stolen .
