While the cryptocurrency regulatory environment in the United States is gradually loosening, China is tightening controls at the retail banking level. Many social media users report that simply mentioning “Dogecoin” or “USDT” in transfer notes can lead to account freezes.
According to Techub.info, two customers of China Construction Bank — the third-largest bank in the world — had their accounts locked after transferring 250 yuan with the note “Dogecoin this week.” The transaction was flagged under the crypto risk control program.
On Rednote, users warn against mentioning Bitcoin, memecoins, or USDT when transferring money. To unlock the account, the owner must prove the funds are not used to buy cryptocurrencies and wait for approval, which can take several weeks. This has made Chinese investors increasingly cautious.

What signals did the US SEC send behind the new 2% discount regulation for stablecoins?
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued guidance on payment stablecoins on February 19, allowing broker-dealers to treat stablecoins with a 2% discount when calculating net capital, thereby giving them a legitimate status in capital calculations. This adjustment helps to integrate stablecoins into the mainstream financial system and promotes digital asset trading and services. Peirce's statement and the GENIUS Act could potentially change the market landscape, although federal and state frictions still exist. Nonetheless, this move paves the way for regulatory integration of stablecoins.
