Description
TL;DR: A period report connecting blocked exchange access, China's earlier ICO restrictions, and market suspicion following a Binance security event.
About This Document
Yimian Wu reports that Binance, BitMEX, Gate.io, and Bitfinex became unavailable to users in China on March 9, 2018. The timing followed reports of a Binance security incident and prompted speculation about government involvement, but the article notes the absence of a confirming official statement. It also revisits China's September 2017 ICO ban, the shift toward over-the-counter trading, and contemporaneous Bitcoin and Ethereum price declines.
Why Bitcoin People May Care
The useful evidence is what was observable and reported at the time; the article does not prove who caused the outages or why. It captures the ambiguity of cryptocurrency enforcement in China during early 2018, when access failures, policy signals, exchange workarounds, and market reaction could arrive before a clear public order. It is historical reporting, not current regulatory guidance.
