Crypto investors seem to be betting that the Chinese latest blanket ban on virtual currency businesses will be a blessing in disguise for the decentralized exchanges that facilitate peer-to-peer transactions with no intermediary. This is quite evident from the weekend market action since the data shows native tokens on major decentralized exchanges like SushiSwap and Uniswap which gained 18% and 22% respectively in the past day which lead Bitcoin higher by a huge margin while centralized exchanges’ tokens are in the red. The head of research at Synergia Capital Denis Vinokoruov said:

The People’s Bank of China declared all virtual currency-related activities illegal and banned all offshore exchanges from serving mainland Chinese users. The statement disqualified Tether as well as the biggest stablecoin globally as a legal tender, along with BTC and ETH, and marked the toughest crypto crackdown as of late. Huobi already took steps to comply with the new regulations and suspended new user signups from China while Binance took similar actions. Huobi also said that it will gradually close the accounts of the China-based users by the end of the year and the native token of the platform dropped 17% in the past day to trade near $7.43. the cryptocurrency hit an eight-month low near $6 over the past few hours.
