TradingView, CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko and other websites are blocked in China and cannot be opened

Recently, many netizens in mainland China found that overseas websites TradingView, CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko can no longer be accessed in China unless they use VPN and other circumvention tools. In other words, these websites are "blocked" in China, in other words, blocked by the "Great Firewall" in mainland China.

These sites are more or less related to cryptocurrencies.

CoinMarketCap is a well-known cryptocurrency market data platform that provides the latest cryptocurrency trading prices. The site was acquired by Binance last year.

CoinGecko is also a website that provides cryptocurrency market data.

TradingView is not a website dedicated to cryptocurrencies, but a financial platform for autonomous traders and investors, providing price charts and analysis software for financial market transactions. TradingView also provides market trading data and charts for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

Some netizens have discovered that these websites have been unable to open in mainland China at the same time. These websites do not actively block visitors from mainland China, so the reason why they cannot be opened is obviously blocked by the "Great Firewall" of mainland China.

The blocking of these websites in mainland China may be related to the recent Chinese government crackdown on cryptocurrencies.

Since a few years ago, the Chinese government has begun to crack down on cryptocurrencies, including shutting down virtual currency trading platforms and banning "mining".

The Central Bank of China and other departments have recently announced that business activities related to virtual currency are illegal financial activities, and that overseas virtual currency exchanges provide services to domestic residents through the Internet are also illegal financial activities. The latest document "Notice on Further Preventing and Disposing of Hype Risks in Virtual Currency Transactions" requires strengthening the monitoring and early warning of virtual currency transaction speculation risks, and prohibiting financial institutions and non-bank payment institutions from providing services for virtual currency-related business activities.

For Chinese users of TradingView, CoinMarketCap, and CoinGecko, if they want to continue to visit these sites, the only way is to "crank the wall ". However, it is not easy to circumvent the wall in China at present. Most circumvention software , such as VPN software , cannot be used smoothly in China. In recent years, there have even been some news of being arrested for illegally circumventing the wall .

With the crackdown on cryptocurrencies in mainland China, more related websites may be blocked in the future.
